Shut up already with the self hating
You already know that when it comes to body image, you can be your own worst enemy. After all, no one can take advantage of you (or make you feel like crap) without your permission.

Weighing-in on The Biggest Loser
Having now watched an entire season of The Biggest Loser, I wanted to revisit my initial observations to see if I still felt the same way. And yep, for the most part, I do:

Notes from the Couch: The Biggest Loser says no girls allowed!

Tim Gunn Brings a Touch of Class and Grace to The Biggest Loser
On this week's The Biggest Loser, it opens with the conclusion to last week's elimination cliffhanger, which was between Maggie and Brittany, and was promised to be completely shocking. Except, uh, it's not. Maggie takes her votes with grace and style and I realize that I'm going... Read More »

Notes from the Couch: Sucks to be a Girl on The Biggest Loser
My Tivo didn't record last week's The Biggest Loser, much to my dismay, and apparently the episodes are like gold and not available for download or streaming anywhere on the Internet. What's the good of living in the electronic age if I can't watch bad reality television whenever... Read More »
