As I was doing a little tele-surfing last night, I stumbled upon "The Biggest Loser: Finale". I've never really watched the show. When it first came on the air, I didn't enjoy how it made the general public feel about overweight people. I would hear people comment on the show, saying that it was bogus, that it exploits "larger people" and "demoralizes and dehumanizes them". The show turns them into some sort of side show. As time went on, I began to feel differently about the whole things, especially after last night. By the way, a BIG congratulations to Heba!! She is my inspiration!! She was the closest contestant to my current weight... and she's a woman, which we all know makes a big difference when it comes to the whole science behind losing weight.
After seeing how much weight Heba actually lost, I had to ask: how long did it take her to lose all that weight. I went onto IMDb.com to see if anyone was blogging about the show... and, oh man they were!! Every minute there was a new post. Go check it out sometime! So, I posted my question, and learned that it only took her 6 months to lose 100 or so pounds!!! That's amazing!! If she can do it, I can do it! Now I know they all went through a grueling, hardcore, boot-camp like experience, but I know that if I push myself, and make sensible choices everyday, I can reach my goal in record time... MY record time, that is.
I went to the gym yesterday, which was pretty fun, even though I pulled a muscle doing a new exercise. I also made the choice NOT to eat a $5 pizza afterwards for dinner. I have to say, every day that goes by, it getting easier and easier to make the right choices. I honestly feel great right now, and that feeling is NOT going away without a fight.
Cheers for now...
