I really didnt want to get involved in this, but because I have had over 30 messages on here today about this topic...I feel like I have to say something. Yes, I have seen the article that everyone is talking about. If you havent seen it, you can easily find it all over the internet. I have also seen other contestants talking about their experience being exactly opposite of what the article states. Bottom line is...EVERYONE has their own experience on weight loss shows & every single season is different. I have always said I am grateful for being on such a wonderful season with some amazing people. I truly feel like season 11 was different. We were all for each other and looked out for one another and had each others backs. Are there CHOICES that I personally made that I wish I would have made differently? Yes, absolutely. MY choices. No one else. Was everything perfect? No, as most things arent...even if it shown that way. Overall, was my experience on the show (and even before and after) life changing for me for the better? YES. It was. And that is MY experience. I 100% respect and love the other opinions. I personally dont think anyone should be getting defensive about this one way or the other. I dont think people should play victim to anything, and I dont think anyone has. If I thought someone did, I would say it. Basically, I stand in the middle of this entire thing (so PC of me) but that is TRULY how I feel. With this situation, as with ANYTHING in life, especially YOUR journey and YOUR health, it is all up to you to make the choices. There will be rough moments, tough decisions to make, and sometimes you will mess up...and that is okay. Keep pushing forward always! The person walking next to you will never have the same exact perspective...but we can still walk together.
