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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
