i am just curious, is anyone else following this story, on the Rachael Ray show? What are your thoughts? I find myself getting so darn frustrated with this family and I really wonder if the proverbial "click" has really happened with this this young lady to make this really happen! If I have accomplished what I have, on my own, it makes me wonder what I could have accomplished with everything that is being given to her. (Rachael Ray show, Dr. Ian, 5000 dollar food gift certificate, a personal trainer!) Last weeks show Christina hated her mother and this week she hates her father. I know this is TV and I know how things are edited as I used to be in the TV field, but I still find myself getting frustrated.

    It has to come from inside of you. No tool will make it happen. Oprah is a prime example. She has every resource and still struggles. Until the inside is in order, no tool will make any permanant difference.

    I am very surprised that she hasn't tried something like Weight Watchers. Its great that Rachel Ray is showing her struggle, but I think Rachel could have done more (not that its Rachel's job but she "has people"). She and her father seem very unmotivated. I saw today that she lost 10 pounds in one week; she was thrilled. Unfortunately I don't see her getting enough assistance, not support, but assistance and see her gaining it all back.

    I was very disappointed in how this story played out. I am sure--at least I HOPE--that they did a lot more teaching with Christina than it showed about Healthy Choices and Lifestyle Changes. But even with all the Tools and intervention she had available to her, it didn't look as if she got close to her Goal.
    And the fact that she apparently skipped her final weigh in and they never--to my knowledge--revealed how much weight she lost was very disappointing.
