I recently read an article, in People Magazine about a past weight loss champ. I have also watched the show many times. In the article, it talks about how a man lost 239 pounds!!! The show is absolutely incredible.
I was amazed from the start about this man. Now, I am not the skinniest person but to lose 239 pounds seems astounding to me! You can't help and smile for this man who has made such a huge and dramatic change in his life.
If you've ever watched the show you will see that it is all for real. No diet pill, no gastric by-pass surgery. It's hard work and sweat! They work out everyday, do exercise challenges, eat a healthy diet. Basically they transform their lifestyle so that can lead a healthier more vibrant life. The people who go on the show are not just a little on the over weight side, they are obese. They live with many health issues as a result of being over weight. Diabetes, high blood pressure, sore joints. Not only do they face health issues but they face public scrutiny and are ashamed of who they have become. These people realize they have to make a huge change in their life and do what even most skinny people can't do. EXERCISE, EXERCISE, EXERCISE!!! God bless them all that they have found the will-power and courage to make this change in their lifestyle.
In conclusion, I have to admit I'm envious. Like I said before I am not the skinniest person, and I can definitely stand to loose a few pounds. Not everyone has the will or desire to go through what they did. Change is scary and sometimes it's just easier to grab another hand full of chips and keep things as they are. So I challenge you (and myself)...are you BIG ENOUGH to be the biggest loser??? I hope so...

You have hit some key points in your blog. Lord knows I could stand to loose some weight but the determination that the contestants have is amazing. I enjoyed this article!
ReplyDeleteI am interesting in your article. My home country is Japan. So, When I watched this show I had culture shock but I can not forget their smiles after they lost weight.
ReplyDeleteI understand why you feel the way that you do. If you feel inspired by the show I think that is great and I hope you do find the internal strength to go after any personal goals you may have. Personally I can't stand the show. I don't like television in general, and reality shows even less. Plus watching the show is counter productive. If you really wanted to lose weight you wouldn't be watching TV you'd be outside going for a walk. But I do agree, it is easier to grab a bad of chips than it is to something that is good for you.
