Getting On My Favorite Reality Show

It was no secret to me that I was obese. I don’t know exactly when I figured it out, but I did and knew I had to change something. Instead of doing it the old fashioned way, through a home made diet and exercise plan, I decided to try something more exotic. The Biggest Loser was my way of getting into shape. 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. 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 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. I had to condense my whole life story into just a few minutes that would be fun to watch. 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. Despite all of my efforts I was sent a rejection letter. 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. Despite the fact that I wouldn’t have the whole world to watch me lose weight, I was still going to lose the weight.

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. The key to my plan was simple, eat food that is healthier for me and eat less of it. 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. Instead of the Biggest Loser Ranch, I leaned on the people who are closest to me. 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. I discovered that the things that I thought I could not do without were not that important after all. I started to enjoy waking up every day.

I was not held back from achieving my goals just because I wasn’t on television. In the end I regained my life without being on the show. But I know the show helped me to do it. If I didn’t make the decision to apply I would never have been turned down. 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 didn’t win a prize, but I did win back my life.
