The Shame Game is Real!

I like reality shows as much as the next guy, but there has been one show in particular that I have avoided up until this point. Being involved in fitness, striving to live as healthy as possible with a terminal illness, and working in healthcare, I take every aspect of the body pretty dang seriously! It is so important for our generation to set a great example for those after us to be strong and empowered. That being my basis, I'm so sick of hearing about this "My Big Fat Fabulous Life" show on TLC. I have watched all of 1/4 of the show, that is about all I could tolerate. I've had friends tell me about the topics addressed in this show including the risk of pre-diabetes in the main character and how she doesn't take any of it seriously. Tonight I watched where Whitney was super offended when a comedian made a few fat jokes that weren't even made directly about her but to a crowd, well that's life girlfriend. Comedians make fun of skinny girls, black guys...
