My Quest To Be On Reality Television
I love reality television. Nothing can make my night any better than one of my favorite shows being on. It usually does not matter what the show is, I like a lot of them. If I was to pick one that I really liked, I would have to say it is the Biggest Loser. For some reason I keep tuning in and it is hard to pinpoint exactly why, I can name some of the things that draw me to it.
The show seems like it is about people like me. I am not happy with the size of my body either. I could withstand dropping a couple of pounds however the people in the show are in a lot worse shape than I am. If I do not change something soon, I could be in trouble. Watching the show has given me some motivation to be on it. I do not want to be faced with the problems that come with the excess fat on the body. I do not want to put my health at risk because of my lifestyle, but I also did not want to go find a way to learn how to lose weight fast if there was something better that I could do, and the things that I saw on the Biggest Loser looked like a healthier way for me to get into shape, but the problem I faced was actually doing what I was supposed to do.
I also enjoy learning about the contestants. It seems like they are someone that I might know in my own life. The contestants have weight issues. Just like me they have to undergo the struggles of every day life. Maybe, I thought, I could be a contestant. There was a site on the internet that had the information that I needed. I read the rules and the application. I did not follow through. In the end, I knew I was not overweight enough to be considered for the show. I had a problem, but I would have to fix it myself.
That was when I decided that I would be my own Biggest Loser. One night after watching a bunch of television I decided to find a way to get my body into the shape it was supposed to be in and I knew that the answer was not in the infomercial that was airing that promised to help a person find a way how to lose weight fast at home in a week, but rather would require me to make the effort to eat right and exercise regularly if I was to really get into shape. It did not take long for me to find a bunch of ways to get myself to a healthy weight.
The first place I turned to was the internet which had an abundance of plans that promised to help me. I also consulted my doctor for his recommendations. The diet was easy, but a work out was harder to do. I had never worked out before. Fortunately there were plenty of fitness clubs in my area to guide me. With the help of the trainers there, I was able to develop an exercise program that was designed just for me.
With diet and exercise plan in hand I went to work. I only lost a few pounds at a time and was not as successful as the people on the show. I was getting healthier though. One pound at a time I was getting into shape. By eating healthy foods, I was not as run down as I used to be at the end of the day. As time went by the intensity and length of my work outs kept increasing. Along the way not everything went according to plan. I had no desire to be called a quitter by anyone. Today, I can look in the mirror and smile at myself.
