weight loss and reality shows

Sorry..I must rant this mornign a bit about "reality" shows that involve people trying to lose weight. What is at all "reality" about someone being filmed and PAID to lose weight?

Here is reality: we all have jobs, families, stress issues, etc...if we find ourselves in a weight control problem, no one is paying us or putting us in front of a camera to lose weight. Reality is that after a long stressful day at work you may have to come home and bring your child to a practice that finishes at 730 pm and you have had no time to even think of preparing dinner. Reality is that you may travel for your work and find yourself at meetings where the only available food choices are sandwiches and chips.

Reality is that to lose weight and keep that weight off a life-style change and behavior modification is required...and reality is that this is difficult to achieve. BUT..if you can do this, you will in fact become healthier and happier.
