Biggest Crier

Are you guys up and up on all the shows starting again this week? I wasn't, gotta LOVE that DVR. I have really considered canceling it these past few months to save money. It must have heard because it went and redeemed itself by recording a show I didn't even know was going to be on and new. It taunted me "Cancel me now Regina. . . if you dare." I don't dare.

Anyway, the show was Biggest Loser. Love it. I actually mostly just fast forward until the weigh-in. But, since it was the first show, I had to watch the whole thing last night to find out about the contestants. Man, what a doozy! For those who don't watch it (and for those who do) I am (of course) talking about Abby. She lost her husband, daughter and 2-week-old son (entire family) in a car accident 3 years ago. I can't even begin to imagine that pain. WOW. Most people on the show say their kids or spouse are their motivation. Not Abby. Oh so sad. I almost wished they would stop allowing her to talk so I could stop crying. Then at the weigh-in when she said, "Death doesn't scare me. Death would be an easier choice for me." Oh man. Yeah, I am totally going for Abby this year.


8 people are laughing with me:

I completely missed it too...but good ol' TiVo caught it for me. Only watched a little last night but did catch a bit of her story, oh my gosh, I can't even imagine how devastating that must have been...still is. i hope she does well. I watched it until the helicopter picked up the lady who passed out....must finish tonight!

We didn't get the 6 mos. free DVR because I knew we wouldn't be able to let it go!

I think she has as good as shot at winning as anyone - she's already lost so much to gain that kind of spirit! God be with her!!

Crying! So, so sad! Thanks for showing us. I'll go see if my DVR caught it. I didn't watch at all last season. Just recorded and then erased. Think I'll definitely tune it.

The Wades said...

I did record it. Guess I'll watch this season. This will be the one that inspires me to slimness. For sure. Totally!

my sil and i just talked about her last nite. she told me the story and i couldn't believe how. terrible. that is. it doesn't seem fathomable that someone could lose their kids and husband like that in one awful instant. makes me feel so wretched about complaining about the little things.
