Hi, my name is Sherry Turner...

Hi, my name is Sherry Turner and I cry watching The Biggest Loser!!! And yes, I know, it has been 4 months since I have blogged. Trust me, everyone that ever thought about reading my blog has told me more than once how long it has been. I actually decided that I was going to make it my new year's resolution to be better about blogging. To be honest, I don't really believe in doing new year's resolutions, but after the flack I have gotten about my non-existent blog, I decided that maybe I should resolve to be better about blogging like the rest of my friends. So, here we are...

Now, back to my original post. I don't know what it is about this show, but all of a sudden this season, I am already emotionally attached to the contestants and it is only the second week! I literally have cried--tears rolling down my cheeks, sucking in cried both weeks. Yep. That's me. I even cried the second week of Mamma's Boys when the girl gave up her spot and eliminated herself because she didn't think it was possible to have a guy like her much less fall in love with her. Are you kidding me???? And I am not supposed to cry over this stuff? It just kills me to see some of these people try so incredibly hard and to put their ENTIRE body and soul into something and then only lose 1 or 2 pounds. These people are real. These people have real struggles and deal with real issues and emotions that we face every day. I can't help but be emotionally involved. THEN, to top it off I have my husband sitting beside me looking at me like I am a TOTAL idiot! I can always tell, too. He hears me sniffle a little, and he doesn't want to look over and make it obvious that he is completely wanting to stare at me and say, "Are you really crying over a tv show???" but instead he does that side look thing and then looks back at the tv. Then I wipe my tears that are streaming down my face and he looks over a little more. Yes, America, I cry when I watch The Biggest Loser!!! I am proud of it too!!! I can't help it that I am a big hearted sucker for reality tv! And yes, pretty much the same thing happens every season with the exception of a couple of twists, but for the most part, you know how it starts, you know what they do to get to the end, and you know what happens in the end. It doesn't matter, though. There is no other show out there that can do with someone's life what they do on this show. That's right--sit down Jerry Springer and Maury Povich. Who cares who the daddy is? The Biggest Loser is in town now!!! All I have to say is if you don't watch this show, you are totally missing out on seeing some awesome stuff.
