random thought

[ej0820]

ok, so we've all seen how they have a few different weight loss tv shows, whether it's like a boot camp or just a competition type thing, right? Well, I had a funny thought the other day about how it would be if they had the opposite type of show for not just cf-ers but for other ppl that need to gain weight and have some difficulties. It could be the biggest gainer or something, lol.



Random, I know. Only we would watch it, I bet. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">

Similar idea, has anyone ever thought of doing, or tried doing,
weight watchers backwards?

A bit off the topic, but the same all at once. CFers cant be the ONLY people having problems maintaining weight. People with AIDS or Cancer patients lose weight. Maybe ours is chronic so the "lifestyle" of eating is different, but if that is the case then its even harder for us since a majority of products pushed is for weight loss. When the carb diet was the "fad", it pissed me off royall that literally no matter what store I went in or what flyer I read there were sales of every product possible to fall into the no carb diet. I have actually emailed Oprah & Dr. Phil (since they are known for their weight loss challenges) to represent the other side even if its a minority & the difficulties we face in doing so & what happens if we dont. That was a few years ago & never got a response. I am sure its not in high demand!

on a similar note...are any of your hospitals starting to serve only "healthy" food?

It's the same with the extra-large fashion items in magazines.. I wish they would make those with extra small too!
