When I first saw this show years ago, I wasn't a big fan. I wasn't thrilled with the term "loser" in the title. Since, I have become a BIG fan. I watch religiously and root for my favorites. I'm amazed at the transformations these people accomplish is such a short amount of time. I have a favorite trainer, and I would still love to experience something like that.
Over the last few years, as the season has come to a close, I have reflected on my failures. When each new season starts, I vow to work right along with them. I think in my head that I will be able to make some changes and actually lose some weight. I always come up short. I usually get down and depressed that I didn't do it yet AGAIN. Although I love the show, it was pure torture to see these people make significant changes in their lives, and yet here I sit at home still in the "wishing" stage.
Tonight some of the contestants tried on some "goal" outfits. I thought to myself, "I've got some stuff in storage.....maybe?" So I dug them out. I have one pair of pants that fit 5 years ago and one dress I wore to my mission homecoming (I'm not telling you how long ago that was). At first, I was reluctant. I didn't want to set myself up for failure. I didn't even try the mission dress. I know full well that I don't want to stuff this body in that dress. However, the pants were a different story; THEY FIT! I got them over my ample behind and zipped and buttoned up. WOW! I was amazed. I was amazed at MY transformation. Granted, I will not be wearing them in public tomorrow, but give me 2 more weeks and they WILL fit comfortably. YEAH ME!!!
Although my transformation is taking a much longer route, I am doing it! I am making changes and setting goals to finally kick this monkey off my back. It hasn't been easy, but man has it been worth it. Tonight, I'm not depressed. I'm happy. I'm full of determination to make it to my goal weight and prove to myself that I CAN DO THIS!
