Applying To Be On The Biggest Loser
I spent much of my life overweight. At some point in my life, I grew tired of the fact, and felt compelled to fix it. I don’t do things the way a normal person does, and my decision about how to lose the weight was no different. There was a reality show about people losing weight and I was going to be on it. Somehow, someway I would find a way to get on that show.
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. I had to give them a lot of information about my self and tell them why I should be on the show as well as make a tape that was to be submitted. The videotape was supposed to create a compelling story that convince the casting people that I was the perfect candidate for the show. They wanted the video to show my personality as well as providing information about my life. 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. Despite all of my efforts I was sent a rejection letter. I figured they must have had people who needed more help them me. 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. I was losing the weight the right way. I had as much help as the contestants on the show had. I stated to enjoy the new way I was doing things. My workouts created a whole group of friends that I did not have before. I found out that food does not have to be fried to taste good. 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. The first step on my journey was admitting that I needed help, even when the first person I turned to didn’t accept 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.
