I love the Biggest Loser. I am a faithful viewer, every darn week. I have been guilty of eating ice cream while watching, but that is a different story...
Usually, though, after I am finished watching it, I am motivated enough to run a mile. Its given me a lot of tips and tricks and help for my own weight loss journey.
But I think its done some negative. With good always comes bad. When I see these people on the show sweating and doing jumping jacks, and then I see the pounds they lose every single week, I think subconsciously, I think I am going to pull those numbers too. What I forget is that they work out 6 hours or more a day and do not have to work or clean the house or write 7 page papers for school... They weren't limited in their budget, and could buy any fresh produce and ground turkey and everything else that is so expensive at Safeway.
I am limited in my budget. I am limited in the amount of time that I can work out. I am limited in my knowledge, and I do not have a personal trainer.
I have lost weight though. I have lost inches mostly. I have gone down in dress sizes. But it isn't as fast as those on the Biggest Loser, and I have a hard time not getting frustrated with myself. I have a hard time letting my weight loss journey be ok and not comparing it to everyone else's. I am not giving up though. I am on the right track to reach my goal for Summer 2012. I need to just focus on that.
I need to just focus on me. And hopefully soon I will have my own before and after picture.
