Coming home after being on the ranch is a very interesting thing to experience. There are temptations EVERYWHERE! I have said over and over again that it's easy to resist temptation when there is a camera in your face and you know millions of people will be watching. Take that camera away and it's not so easy anymore. When you are trying to live a healthy lifestyle you have to be strong. You have to find some way to tap into your willpower and resist temptation. The temptations will always be there, that will never change but the way you deal with them can change.
What's even more fascinating is that is while on the ranch you change so much and you feel like a whole new person only when you come home you find out that not much else has changed. Whether you are a Biggest Loser contestant or someone trying to change your life style at home we have to come to grips with the fact that we cannot always change the people around us. We have to realize that just because we have made the decision to change our lives for the better not everyone else will. I live by a motto of "For yourself by yourself". Don't get me wrong, it's great to have support from other people but you have to be prepared to keep going without any support at all. If you can do that then in my opinion you have a better chance at reaching your goals.
