Taking Responsiblity

In a status message a few day's ago(on facebook) I made mention of someone though I know there are many who do this, even a few who have passed away wanting, waiting and thinking they needed to get on The Biggest Loser to lose weight. I think it's ridiculous to place all your eggs in one single basket! In the end on Biggest Loser you are left to your own devices, sure you get the training, you get the information and what all you need knowledge wise to make it on your own but honestly you sink or you swim. The information you need is out there you just have to not be lazy and do some researching, some reading, some reaching out! Support is a big thing for me I need it and yes I know you get that on "The Ranch" but however you can find that be it online, in a gym, at a group meeting with other people who are on their journey to lose weight. In fact 90% of my support comes from wonderful friends I have made online! I have been blessed with some of the best of the best in friends on here! So saying you NEED "The Ranch" to me is just another excuse of many to put off your weight loss! I just want to say quit hiding behind excuses!! Every last one of us have been guilty of hiding behind excuses none of us are innocent. I've hid behind the school work, housework, kids, and money excuses. But in the end I should be making time some how balancing my schedule it ain't easy but you know what if I had made it on I'd still have to come back home and face all my excuses and I'd still have to find away to do it! What do some people think, really do you think cause you go on the show that there is some kind of anti-fat shield you come home with that re-pails all fat from sticking back on you? Nope you have to keep doing the work and you have to find away to get rid of your excuses! You have to find a way to make time, to work a budget to afford the proper foods you need to be eating! If you don't then all that time away from home, family and friends were for NOTHING all that sweat, blood and tears all for nothing making everything meaningless and a waste of your time, the trainers time the shows time! I have put in one attempt at casting for The Biggest Loser it was a wonderful experience one that made me see a lot of different things in myself I needed to fix, and face! But would I keep on at it time after time? No no way! Not because of hurt feelings or self doubt it's just that I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket! Only foolish people do stuff like that in my opinion! You in the end of everything are the only person who can save yourself from an unhealthy lifestyle. And it's high time a few people wake up and see that! It isn't easy, it's hard, it's a struggle at times, but there is something I have to say it is well worth it! You'll thank yourself one day! My struggle has been over the last bit with money and being able to afford what I need to make healthier meals and such, but I have faced the fact I have no choice but to sit my husband down and rework our household budget and make him realize what we need to do so we can do what is right for us and the children! So next pay period all healthy items in our house and I'm weeding out the unnecessary spending that goes on. Sometimes we have to just take things by the reigns and make it happen for ourselves! There will never be some magic cure-all and even the Biggest Loser isn't the end all cure all for obesity it is a great tool to put in your toolbox you can learn a lot, you can get inspiration and motivation but you have to put the tools into play and actually do something about it! You cant' consistently just sit there and let life pass you right on by and waiting to be saved...sometimes my friends you have to save yourself and be your own hero! Take responsibility for yourself after all it's your bad choices that have put you where you are we can't blame anyone else for it in the end it's your choice what you put in your mouth and what you do or don't do physically! Yep that's right I'm 110% back in the game you'll be hearing a lot from me lol I have had a wealth of inspiration and motivation lately and I'm going to share it right here on my facebook page with my friends! Much love to you all!
