I remember watching it while binge eating ice cream sweating that tomorrow would be the start of a new weight loss “journey” only to be back the following week with more ice cream, making the same promises to myself…

Aaron, thank you deeply for your words mirror my own. I was also enthralled week after week, cheering the weight loss, moaning the gain or plateaus. I also went into weight management as manager of an academic medical center's weight management clinic. I was steeped in the harmful practices until it began creating havoc in my own body. IBS and unrest informed my decision to leave.

I work within an entirely different framework now and am willing to reconnect to Netflix for this series. I silently hope for redemption for all these contestants and hope I'm pleasantly surprised.
