I was feeling a bit uninspired this evening.
Don’t want to cook dinner.
Don’t want to clean up.
Don’t want to do any work.
Don’t have a book on the go.
Don’t have any “projects”.
And then I hear a loud exclamation from the lounge room.
The show on the telly is The Biggest Loser.
“It’s really important that I make the right choice…” says the Loser in question…
“What?! How hard can it be?!!” Is what I hear, “They’re fries?!!!”
The Loser had to choose the product with the least fat. There was a 60g packet of muesli against a 72g packet of fries.
Put it this way: There was a good reason this person needed to be on the show.
Speaking of losers… did anyone catch My Kid’s A Star the other night?

I am feeling like this right now… not wanting to do anything really… but I know I have to push myself… I have lost 7lbs (out of the kgs loop now – away from home to long)… don’t want to give up now… take care
Ha Ha I actually saw that part as I scurried around tidying up and getting the kids bedrooms ready to occupy. I cringe whenever that show is on in the background. My kids love it. One of the contestants is one of those think they are really funny morning radio people. I heard him the other morning when the kids were in the car. I only listen to the ABC, but they like music for our short trip to school. It was odd since the show is still running and he is back in his job yabbering away about his weight loss and how he used to lay on the couch and lick cup cake wrappers in his old days. All the important stuff that we need to know.
I hate to rain on your parade, but the 60g of fruit muesli has 278 calories whilst the fries only has 200 calories. Little known fact is muesli is full of fat – it is so unhealthy it isn’t funny.
It’s a bit of a trick then isn’t it. Muesli is surely healthier to eat than fries, so to me, the question should have been what has the most fat, or which is the best for you. The contestants might leave the house and then eat fries over muesli because of the calorie content.
That’s it Riayn – I’m eating fries for breakfast every day from now on.
Back off muesli! I don’t want to get fat!
I agree with Jen. That just shows that this program is even MORE ridiculous than previously thought.
I’ve been in one of those “don’t want to……” funks for a week now.
Think I need some fries to pick me up….
Considering my ‘muesli diet’ or the late 80′s turned me into a fat beast, I can understand the hesitation .. perhaps the ‘loser’ had been burned like me ( It was Cerola Apricot Toasted .. totally delicious, and before the days of non-toasted in the shops … BTW – God, it was gooooood….)
And yes, I watched the kiddy-talent-camp ( Cameron Daddo – *snicker* ). That mother-whore that dresses and makes up like her daughter is damn scary. Didn’t mind it though – you sign up for criticism, you will get it …..
