Why I Won't Be Watching 'Revenge Body'

The only person you should be losing weight is for yourself.

Why I Won't Be Watching 'Revenge Body'
E! Online

Just like many others in 2007, I fell in love with the Kardashian family. I was fascinated with all of their crazy lives. From the very beginning they caught my attention. I was there when Kourtney found out she was pregnant with Mason. I was distraught when Khloe and Lamar went through their divorce. I also cheered when Kim and Kanye got together.

It's been a wild ride these past 10 years and it's definitely been worth it. Even though I'm a fan of the whole family, I've always been Team KoKo. She's consistently real and keeps everyone laughing. From the start, she was someone I looked up to. Her strength never ceased to amaze me and her positive outlook was something I admired. But, when her new show, "Revenge Body" came out, I was a little weary.

The show will be watched by millions and it could have damaging effects on young Kardashian lovers. The commercials advertise Khloe saying it's a "body, mind and soul" transformation. When thinking of our bodies we shouldn't look at them as weapons to use for revenge on the kid who called us fat in middle school or anyone else that has hurt us.

In the first episode, Khloe asks two contestants, Will and Stephanie, "Who do you want to get revenge on?" Will said he wanted to get revenge on an ex, while Stephanie wanted revenge on her friends that made fun of her weight. In both of these situations, it's better to just get rid of the negative people.

If people truly hurt you to the point that you would lose weight for them, they could simply find something else to tease you about. The only person you should be losing weight is for yourself. You don't need to do this to get back at your friends or ex-boyfriend. Instead of trying to show off their new bodies, Will and Stephanie should have both moved on from their toxic relationships.

It's not the first time we've seen this kind of idea for a show. Weight loss reality shows, like "The Biggest Loser," have been around for quiet some time. The show's idea isn't new or crazy. Viewers aren't running home from work to see it. In these shows, some of the contestants gain back all their weight and then some. Also, with the shock of the intense work outs and food changes, many face several issues, like changes in their metabolism, hormones or worse, behavioral effects can happen.

While the show was made to help people feel better about themselves, there was no real change in the lives of Stephanie and Will. They came into the show feeling fine and left the show feeling fine. There were no drastic life changes. They didn't seem any happier or sadder than when they first began. They were both at low points in their relationships and thought Khloe's show was the answer.

It's important to remember that our bodies shouldn't be used for revenge. No one that leaves you because of your weight is worth having in your life.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
