Getting On My Favorite Reality Show
March 6th, 2010 by Classical Music Expert
I spent much of my life overweight. Somewhere along the line I decided to do something about it. I could have chosen to join a gym or something like that, but I decided to try something much bigger. I decided to apply to the show the Biggest Loser. The first thing I had to do was figure out how to do that.
I went onto the internet, and took a look at a site called biggest loser forum, which I found out had all types of information about diet and weight loss, exercise programs, helpful hints and they even had chat rooms where people can discuss the issues surrounding their weight loss program with people who are going through similar situations. After a bit of searching, I was able to find the application link and learned what the process would be to apply for the show. The process included filling out the application and creating a video The tape did not have to be really long, but it had to display my personality to the judges in such a way that they would have to pick me. The tape had to contain certain information about myself and my condition. I was aware that the only way that I could be chosen by the judges was through this information that I was compiling and putting into an envelope.
I filled out my application, made my video and waited, knowing that if I was lucky enough to be chosen to be on the show I would be taught how to lose weight fast, something that I knew would help me to live a long and healthy life that I could share with my family, and something that I felt was much needed. Unfortunately, I was not chosen to be on the show. I figured they must have had people who needed more help them me. But even if I wasn’t chosen for the show, I still had the problem of being overweight. I was going to start my own diet and exercise program with or without their help.
I made the commitment to start to eat healthy and begin exercising, which at first meant doing sets of six pack ab exercises in my living room every night until I was able to get the money together to join a fitness club and get the professional help that I needed to reach the goals that I had set for myself, and to lead me in my new healthy lifestyle. I did not go on any type of fad diet, I just started eating right. Amazingly the weight started to come off. I kept track of the reality show that I had hoped to be on while I worked at home, thinking about how I would have fared on it. I was losing the weight the right way. I had the support of fitness professionals and of my family. I stated to enjoy the new way I was doing things. Going to the gym was fun and I was meeting a bunch of new people. I discovered that the things that I thought I could not do without were not that important after all. Most importantly I was happy.
I wasn’t chosen to be on the Biggest Loser, but that did not stop me. Even without the Biggest Loser, I transformed my life into a healthy and happy one. The Biggest Loser did play a part in my journey. The first step on my journey was admitting that I needed help, even when the first person I turned to didn’t accept me. The rejection that they gave me gave me the desire to do something about the issue so I could tell them I told you so. And I did prove them wrong. I know that I am now the Biggest Loser because I am healthy.
