The Biggest Loser

Last night after I got done preaching my guts out I went home to watch one of my favorite reality shows - The Biggest Loser. I don't know why it is my favorite, I guess I just like watching fat people try to get into shape, or maybe it is because it's the only reality show that is actually making a difference in peoples lives (or maybe both). Either way I like to watch it.

As I was watching it I found a few things Ironic. The first one is that I found I was completely comfortable eating a huge bowl of ice cream (Extreem Moose Tracks = mmmm) as I watched all of these overweight people crying about their health issues and how they need to get in shape and start eating better. I felt a little bit convicted so I thought to myself "I will get up and go running in the morning". Then I remembered an old saying, "it is the thought that counts". So I thought about running a lot but then never really did it. The second thing that struck me as amusing was when they were interviewing all of these people on the show that one of them said this, "I am a really disciplined person". I started thinking to myself, how disciplined can you be, you are 200lbs overweight. Ok so there was a third thing I found ironic. I found it ironic that one of these guys who was really overweight was a family doctor.

What a concept a doctor who is 100's of pounds overweight. Can you imagine going to see your family doctor because you are having health issues. You strip down and put one of those robes on and as you are sitting their waiting anxiously to find out what is wrong with you in walks your 375 pound doctor. Now honestly how secure are you going to feel with this guy assessing your health especially when he tells you that you need to start eating healthier. I mean come on are you really going to take his word for it or are you going to get a second opinion. That would be like me telling young people at The Movement to stop sinning and then stand outside as they are leaving and smoke a joint (things that make you say hmmm).

So what is the point well I am not quit sure other than this. Don't eat to much, Don't go to overweight doctors and stop smoking joints.

Thanks for listening.
