Those of you who know me, know my love for trashy reality TV. The Real Housewives of anything, basically anything on Bravo, TLC or E!, etc. One thing that has intrigued me lately is “Revenge Body by Khloe Kardashian.” Now, to be clear, I stopped watching “Keeping Up…” years ago. I think it’s gotten out of control. But I’ve always liked and related to Khloe.

The concept of the show is to lose a bunch of weight in 12 weeks to get “revenge” on someone who did them wrong – usually someone who has bullied them or caused them to gain a lot of weight. It’s quite an addicting show and it’s got me to thinking about this concept of a “revenge body.”

Demi Lovato also has a song called “Sorry Not Sorry” where she talks about looking so good that the person regrets what they did to her.

Now I’m out here looking like revenge
Feelin’ like a ten, the best I ever been
And yeah, I know how bad it must hurt
To see me like this, but it gets worse (wait a minute)
Now you’re out here looking like regret
Ain’t too proud to beg, second chance you’ll never get
And yeah, I know how bad it must hurt to see me like this
But it gets worse (wait a minute)

– Demi Lovato “Sorry Not Sorry” lyrics

I mean, who HASN’T lost weight or undergone a transformation and then felt really good rubbing it in someone’s face? I know whenever I see an ex-boyfriend and I’m looking particularly fierce, I always feel really good about it.

But, should we want to lose weight for the sole purpose of “revenge?” My immediate thought is “no. we should always want to lose weight for ourselves – to be happy and healthy with who we are as individuals.”

But man … it’s such a fun concept right?
