I Want to Save Your Life


So my wife is on a TV show. Having grown with the reality generation I was somewhat cynical of the whole idea of a weight-loss reality show. I Want to Save Your Life has actually been quite a success. Jen as dedicated herself to change her life for the better. With much joy, frustration, elation and disappointment we have weathered the emotional roller coaster. We have changed our eating habits and we spend much more time outside playing with the kids—which as brought much increased energy to us all. But lean cuisine and exercise is our new life. While Jen was preparing for the show, she traveled to Miami three times a week and talked to Charles constantly. It is tough to empathize with dieting when you have never gone through it youself. The temptations are all around and vigilance has become Jen's motto. She watches everything she eats and writes a diary every day. I see the change, but it is harder for Jen to see it--and she is constantly hard on herself. She has learned to change and I and very proud of her accomplishments.
