Re: The Biggest Loser Challenge
Boy. Last night was a major wakeup call.
I saw a program called "The Biggest Loser", and it was shocking for me.
I'd never seen the show before, and I was sure that everyone on that shoe, being ginormous, was going to be wayyy huger than me.
Reality check #1: I weigh more than half the women on that show. I was feeling pretty amazingly wonderful about my losses to date, until I saw these beautiful ladies who I was absolutely sure weighed more than me at my weight. Was I wrong! Many of them were as much as 20-30 pounds less than me... and they looked reaalllly overweight.
Reality Check #2: At my starting weight I weighed about as much as a couple of the guys on there. My jaw DROPPED. I couldn't believe I ever weighed so much and looked like a few of those guys! It really stung, seeing who could have been me on the television last night, at my starting point.
Reality Check #3: If I believe I can do it, I can do it, because they did: Those ladies and gentlemen were such inspirations to me. They worked SO hard, and their efforts paid off...in spades! They ate sensibly and they moved a lot more. I couldn't help but think had I tried that last year how much further I'd be now.
Reality Check #4: While I am depressed about where I've allowed myself to go, I need to be kind: Nobody beats me up as well as me. Nobody. In 3 weeks I've lost nearly 30 pounds, 21 of those in one week. How? By doing what they've been doing! I've had the secret to success at my fingertips and shoelaces all this time! I just didn't realize it until I watched those amazing people last night.
Reality Check #5: I am hooked on that show. I'm usually a Borg, but last night I had my eyes fill with tears more than once. Their journey is my journey. I'm going to continue to stick with them. To compete against them. To do the best that I can over the fduration of the show, because I know I am worthy. And if they can do it, so can I!
We all can!

that weighing in was after 10 days and if they can lose that much in only 10 days I CAN TOO. I just need to do more on my workouts and push myself for more.
RIGHT LADIES????????????????????
