Tonight is the Biggest Loser Finale! I don't know why but I love the Biggest Loser. The finale just takes the cake! Obviously the main focus of the show is for weight loss. I don't feel it promotes unhealthy self-images or everyone must be skinny, but promotes that everyone should strive to be healthy. The contestants are facing numerous health concerns caused by their weight. But what I as a psychologist love is the changes you see within the person. That's why they have such a high success rate of participants keeping the weight off. They face the issues underlying their weight problems! It's so encouraging and moving to hear people say things along the lines of "for the first time I feel like I am worth it." For the contestants facing trauma to finally face feelings they have been running from! Or my favorite when they come on the show for their family member who is a contestant and then realize they have to change themselves. I love watching each season and seeing the people change physically and emotionally. Tonight it all gets showed off when they can proudly show off their hard work and new physical appearance. I am so excited to see the differences!
