It Is a Choice

Was there a dry eye in America on Tuesday night? What an amazing episode of The Biggest Loser. The things Abby has been through in her life really puts things into perspective. Life is so short. It is so unpredictable. We all know that, but sometimes I think we forget.

There was a lot of talking about choices this week. Which reminded me of a moment I had this summer. I came across a picture of myself from last years 4th of July cookout. When I looked at that picture, I could not figure out what surprised me more, the fact that I had changed so quickly or the fact that I CHOSE to live my life like that for so many years. I do believe a healthy lifestyle is a choice. I am not saying it is an easy choice, but it is a choice. I choose to eat crap food. I choose to not exercise. I also choose to complain about not being able to lose weight and about trying "everything." Yet now looking back I am not sure how much I actually committed myself to the process.

The Biggest Loser taught me what it takes to live a healthy lifestyle. It takes commitment, sacrifice, strength, resilience, focus and much more. It does not come easy for me. I have to work for it every single day. If you are looking to make a change in your life remember this, "Successful people do what unsuccessful people don't."
