Bigger Loser Finalist Says Show Gave Her An Eating Disorder
“Unfortunately, what they’re telling you the contestants are doing and what they actually have the contestants doing are two different things, at least as far as my season goes. We were working out anywhere between 2 and 5 hours a day, and we were working out severely injured. There’s absolutely no reason to work a 270 pound girl out so hard that she pukes the first time you bring in a gym. That was entirely for good tv.”
I was already heading in that direction anyway, but after reading this, I’m officially off the Biggest Loser. I hope you guys are, too. There’s nothing real or healthy about that show. Don’t support it.
Look at this. I hope everyone who sees this can see how incredibly fucked up this is. Do not support this show by watching it. Do not subscribe to this thin=healthy (or worse yet, thin>healthy) idea. There’s no one weight (range) that’s right for everyone, not even all the people of the same height. And there’s definitely no reason to treat people like this, even “for their own good.”
