Dr Phil

[tallulahangie]

Yesterday's episode of Dr Phil had him interviewing challengees of his weight loss challenge. Dr Phil would bring them up on stage and reward them with whatever they most wanted. One lady wanted to be a diva so she got a stint on Young & the Restless plus other prizes. Another lady wanted to be a model so she got a modelling contract. Etc Etc. The guy that lost the most weight - over 120lbs - received 1 year's free rent at a swanky, luxury apartment in LA, a stint on an American TV show, cosmetic surgery and a red SAAB convertible.

Summer, and beaches.

[jono]

a better physique... and higher harder to reach goals

[Cornfed]

To be able to simply carry the lawnmower, rather that having to drag it up those concrets steps. To be regarded as having an (objectively) strong body, not just a strong mind. To not have anyone dare to kick sand in my face on the beach. To at least be a bigger weight if bigger men want to tussle with me, and to have the strength to tussle with them. To look like I'm a real man in this increasingly pussified society. To not have turned into a disgusting fat mess. I'll think on other reasons tomorrow.
