Anyone else interested in the premier of Fat Chef on the Food network tomorrow? http://www.foodnetwork.com/fat-chef/index.html

I am a career line cook, with hopes of some day being more than just a Chef de Partie, and actually running a kitchen or owning a restaurant. Seeing as how I am surrounded by food all of the time, starving is the least of my worries, hence my membership here. Until I started keeping track of my eating habits, I ballooned up to 250, and kept going, lol (I carried it well, but still too much for a 5'7" woman). Its a daily struggle and challenge to loose weight when your job is to prepare food.

In any case, I LOATHE reality shows. HATE them. But this one piques my interest because I hope to learn something from it, or at least be able to empathize. and not feel so alone, lol....

Anyone else interested? Anyone else on here work in the foodservice industry and can relate?

    Tiger lilly! So wonderful to find someone else that is surrounded by food all the time and cant help it! haha

    I dont watch TV ever, when I do, its usually at the food network, or whatever is on at the gym. I do think I will make the time for this show though. As I said, maybe I could learn something!
