As I watched Biggest Loser last night I realized what has been missing in my own struggles to lose weight.....the determination. I mean, I want to lose weight and be healthy, but frankly, I haven't WANTED it badly enough because I sure am not doing it. Where do you find that determination? What does it take to get it?
How did Tara pull herself up from everyone in the house basically wanting her gone to continue on to the next challenge. It wasn't that lame speech that Laura gave her. How did she find the strength, and not physical strength, to pull that car and even though she was way behind, keep pulling and pulling and pulling to ultimately get that car over the finish line. I probably would have jumped up on that car and yelled "Bite me bitches" after the race was over. That would probably be wrong but hell, I'm not always a right kind of person.
My logical mind says that a lot of that, if not all of it, was set up for television drama. This season's contestants are losing insane amounts of weight. Part of me says hey that's awesome, if they can do it, why can't I. The logical part of me says it's all set up and I can't do it because I don't have a one on one personal trainer, I don't have someone else buying and fixing my food, and I have kids and a job and things that prevent me from working out in a gym 6 hours a day.
Really, just because I can't do it like they do, does not mean I can't do it at all. I just need to find that determination within myself. Every other thing in my life I set out to do, I do and do it well. But this, something that is so important, I cannot seem to make myself do. I cannot find the strength, determination and will power.
To end, I say GO TARA. I hope she wins. I think they are setting her up to win, another woman winner to even things up a bit on their statistics, but nonetheless, she is losing weight, she is kicking ass. I would like to see one contestant that says it isn't about the money, truly make it not about the money. I would love to see someone go in there and say from the beginning that it's not about the money, and to prove it, donate their winnings to a charity, set up a scholarship fund for kids, something to show that it is not about the money and that will help others. Is money that great determination factor? Is that what it takes to do it? If so, I'm screwed.
