What I got out of last night's biggest loser show

I absolutely LOVE watching the show Biggest Loser!!! Last night I had a few things that I feel like I really learned. I will just say them how I think of them. First I was very upset about the outcome of the vote from the week previous. I was very frustrated with the lady who ended up staying. I felt like she was not giving it her all and that she didn't deserve to be in that amazing environment that so many people had tried to be in. (I was thinking how much i love shawn he is the most handsome,hot,kind,loving,sweet,strong,amazing,most besttest man ever in the world!!!! and I not just saying that because he is mine forever.) this was just inserted by Shawn because I got distracted when my visiting teacher came over. I had to leave it because he is just so cute. :-) Back to my thoughts... I was honestly feeling mad that she was still there. She was constantly whining and she just didn't seem like she even pushed herself. Well, she stayed on because there were people who voted for her to stay. This week there was a 180 switch in how she was. It was like she had decided that she could do it and that people believed in her and I was very impressed by her this week. She worked so hard and her attitude was one of self belief. I find myself doing the same thing I was so bugged by... sometimes I am just a whiner because I just don't feel like doing what I know I need to do. The next thing that hit me was the Father and Son team. They fell below the yellow line which put them up for elimination. They were both so upset and they each felt like they had failed each other. I was touched by the way the Dad pleaded with everyone to keep his son there at the Ranch. I realized in a very real sense how much I feel that way for everyone who is participating in this competition with me. I want so strongly for each and every person to have the weight loss success they need. We all have to do our part on our own, but we all want the best for each other. The main thing that I loved was mentioned in Kristina's last post on her blog about Dan and how he ran for 5 minutes. He had a break through and with the help of Jillian he was able to make it through. Jillian is one hard core trainer. She knew that Dan could do it even though he kept saying I can't breath. She said, "But you are." I loved how that came across. The idea of going past what you think you can do and just pushing so hard for something you want so bad. I have felt like I can't lose weight, but if I put it how Jillian did to Dan, I Am.
