I saw a story about a bedridden beriatric once, who lost a lot of weight. He said one day he was in bed watching an aerobics show and just go so frustrated that he started clapping with the the instructor and that was the the first brick in his yellow brick road.

I definitely don't prefer plastic surgery shows unless its reconstructive surgery.

These are people who are too heavy for weight loss surgery, too heavy often to even get out of bed.

I don't know why I like that one more than the ones where they lose 200 lbs and win a million dollars. I guess it's just more honest. You sometimes see the real person, not just the body, and it's really painful, but it makes me understand a little bit how hard it must be to suffer like they do.
