Sometimes I just have to sit back and think how ludicrous all this weight loss stuff is.

I was watching the Biggest loser last night which I haven’t watched in a while. I dont watch much tv at all these days.

Anyway, as some of the contestants were cramming food from a vending machine in their mouths for the possibilty of a pound pass of wads of cash, I was thinking how strange that FOOD is the cause of this show. Or rather, our lack of control with food.

It’s just food, right? It’s only food. Why is it in theory so easy to lose weight, but most of us can’t do it? Why do we eat so much in the first place? Why can’t I be like a robot and program myself only to eat this many calories per day? It’s about my life, right? It’s about how happy I am with my body, my sex appeal? Why can’t I take the reigns completely and say., this is it! Sure, I do this every now and then, but ultimately, I fall prey to my weakness for food.

It’s all so stupid to me when I really think about it. Food is not an entity with the intelligence to bend me to its will. It is a resource that keeps me alive, like oxygen or water.

Sorry, just feeling a little resentful to my excess fat today.
