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. Instead of doing it the old fashioned way, through a home made diet and exercise plan, I decided to try something more exotic. There was a reality show about people losing weight and I was going to be on it. 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. The website led me to a place where I could download the forms that supplied all of the information about how to apply for the Biggest Loser. The process included filling out the application and creating a video 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. The application and video would be all that the show would know about me, so I knew the importance of doing it right.

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 don’t know exactly why I wasn’t chosen for the Biggest Loser. I might have been rejected, but I was still fat. I decided that even though the Biggest Loser wasn’t go to help me, I would help myself.

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. There were plenty of weight loss systems available to me, but I did not use them. 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. I was changing my life. I had as much help as the contestants on the show had. I learned that I liked eating foods that were healthier for me and I looked forward to my workouts in the gym. 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. 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. Without making the effort to get on the show, they would never have had the chance to reject me. Being turned down gave me the drive to show them that they were wrong about me. And I did prove them wrong. In my own world I am a weight loss champion.
