Last night an old episode of The Biggest Loser aired.  “The Biggest Loser: Where Are They Now?” is actually one of my favorite episodes.  The reality show really struck home. Every season I sat in my plus size clothing and watched the lives of people that I could relate to.  Watching them was like watching someone else walk in my shoes. The show not only helped its characters succeed but many of the viewers watching too.  I don't think the people on the show realized how much one decision in their lives would affect thousands of people.  It is a lot easier to stay motivated when you have the support of someone that you are able to relate to.

Seeing how hard they worked to loose the inches really opened up my eyes on the importance of life and that is to live it.  It is impossible to live life to the fullest when all you have to worry about is your health.  Everyone has a different story, some happy while others not so much.  But there is never a story that gives reason to kill your body early because of the substances you feed it.  Our bodies are our temples, and that’s exactly how we should treat them. I know it’s not easy to resist the cup cakes, chips, pizza etc. but it’s all about discipline.

Statistics show that the United States of America is the fattest country in the world!  There is nothing wrong with being thick or the term everyone loves using “fat”.  There is however, something wrong with being a gluten and being unhealthy.  Putting harmful toxins into your body can cause for many sicknesses.  Sicknesses such as high blood pressure, clogged arteries, heart diseases and even bad skin.  Being obese can affect you physically and for some even mentally.  We've seen the people on The Biggest Loser rid themselves of hundreds of pounds and maybe it is time we all do the same.
