Several morbidly obese people came together, removed their clothing, and weighed in. Some were humiliated. Others were beyond embarrassment. All took a deep breath as the scale climbed up. Throughout the season, they battled each other to try and win a cash prize. But, the real battle was the one that was going on inside of each of them. Unlike other reality shows like Big Brother or Survivor, the entire realm of battle was the one going on between their own hearts, their minds, and their flesh.
Their goal...to overcome their issues with food, exercise, and their surrounding environment so that they can begin living a healthy lifestyle that would forever change their lives....and to possibly win money in the process.
The show inspires many. Why? I think it's because deep down, we like to see someone succeed. I think that every time we someone overcome their obstacles, we think that maybe we can overcome ours. They have access to trainers, but so do we. They have access to nutritional information, but so do we. They have a deep, burning desire to change...so do we....or do we?
When we've got that deep, burning desire to change, we look for role models. We seek out success stories. We try to find out what they did so that we can understand what we need to do. Somewhere, deep inside of us, we think..."if they can do it, then what's stopping me?"
I challenge you to seek out some success stories and find some role models. They're everywhere, and will inspire you.
