I Wanted To Lose Weight On Television

I know that I have been fat since I was a young man. Somewhere along the line I decided to do something about it. I don’t do things the way a normal person does, and my decision about how to lose the weight was no different. I decided to apply to the show the Biggest Loser. Before I could be declared the winner, I would have to be a contestant.

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. I found out the way to get on the show was very similar to many other reality shows and was able to begin the whole process while online. In addition to filling out the application, I needed to shoot a videotape outlining my story. The video had to be something that would wow the people who chose the contestants and was supposed to be between five and fifteen minutes long. The tape had to contain certain information about myself and my condition. My whole life story was hanging in the balance as I prepared all of the necessary materials for the casting department of the show.

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. Despite all of my efforts I was sent a rejection letter. I guess I didn’t fit the needs of the show. Even thought the show turned me down, I knew that there were still issues for me to deal with. 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. To my great surprise, I began to shed some of the pounds. 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. The things that I was doing were really helping. I had the support of fitness professionals and of my family. I found out that living a healthy lifestyle can be a good thing to do. My workouts created a whole group of friends that I did not have before. Despite the apprehensions I had about giving up all the things that I thought gave me comfort, I replaced them with many other new things. And I was smiling more.

They didn’t pick me to be on the show, but I still competed. I was able to lose the weight without their help and able to start enjoying my life. The Biggest Loser did play a part in my journey. Without making the effort to get on the show, they would never have had the chance to reject me. I took the rejection and used it as my motivation to get healthy. It was great when I could let them see my transformation and tell them they messed up. I know that I am now the Biggest Loser because I am healthy.
