I have found a new favorite show. Ok, so not top favorite, but it definitely ranks up there.
Something you should know about me is that I love books, movies, and tv shows for their ability to make me laugh or make me cry. I'm not talking a chuckle here or there or a misting of the eyes, I'm talking extreme emotion. Hysterical laughter or waterworks. In order to be great literature, fantastic cinema, or incredible tv it has to evoke one of these extreme emotions in me.
My go-to tearjerker shows have always been Oprah and Grey's Anatomy. Now I'd like to add The Biggest Loser to that list.
A couple of my good friends out here in So Cal are devoted viewers of the show. I remember one particular day (last season) when my friends were talking about how the people on the show ran a marathon. I was impressed.
I decided to start dvr-ing the show to watch during my evening elliptical routine. I figured it would be a motivator.
Well, the show never quite made it to my elliptical routine, because I've just been too darn busy crying my eyes out to exercise!
Tonight, for example, I can honestly tell you that I was literally on the verge of tears/in tears the entire (2 hour!) episode.
I find the tears to be therapeautic. I highly recommend it, especially after a long, stressful week.
