A recurring theme on The Biggest Loser (and, I’m sure, other weight loss reality tv shows) is that most of the participants will tell you that they never realized just how fat they were.
They knew they were large, and they weren’t happy at their weight, but they just assumed they were “big boned”. The number on the scale during that first weigh in is usually a shock to them. Because they felt lighter than they actually were. And then you have me. I actually truly believe I am one of those people who weigh more than they look. But I feel what the scale tells me.

Tet is the Vietnamese Lunar New Year. Every year, my entire extended family gathers at my grandparents house for food and distribution of the red envelopes with money. Instant. Cash.
