I seldom have occasion to say nice things about television shows. I’ll make an exception for My 600-lb Life, which has a great deal of cautionary and educational value about a growing problem in society. As the name implies, it’s a reality TV program in which the guest stars usually begin around approximately 600 pounds (273 kilos). Some are less and some are more.

Seeing someone improve over in well-being, physically and mentally, over time is rewarding to observe. How much better would it be to observe an ordinary person with some potential go through some development program and realize it? However it would need to be a really significant improvement to make a TV show. The 600lb life is going from a negative extreme to normal -,it catches viewers attention for sure. If only there was a normal to positive extreme. We need inspiration to go from where we are to a better condition. Still though you have outlined the positives of the show very well and it was an enjoyable article to read. Thanks.
One of these days I’ll take you up on your suggestion. I have lots of projects on the back burner, so it might be a while, but stay tuned.
I look forward with anticipation Beau. Keep up the great writing.
