I love "The Biggest Loser". At our house it is a weekly ritual to watch obese people become healthy and regain their lives. Last night we watched the 1st installment of this season (11 I believe) and I stared in disbelief as a man my exact same heighth (5'8") stepped on the scale weighing 507lbs. The amazing thing was that before he got on the show he lost 150lbs. He used to weigh 657lbs. I immediatly felt sympathy pains realizing that this man weighs nearly 3 times what I weigh and we are the same heighth. How do you get to that weight? I just kept repeating, "I will never ever be that weight," over and over in my mind. The image of the huge apron of fat hanging off of his body and the laborious steps he took just to walk on the treadmill and the sweat dripping off of his body doing the simplest tasks -- those were all motivation enough for me to run my mile today and even turn it up a notch from 4.2 to 4.4 and finish in 13.35 minutes.
