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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
