Last night on the Biggest Loser, the contestants discussed the difficulty of following a healthy lifestyle away from the Biggest Loser Ranch. They spoke of fear, uncertainty, insecurity. They all expressed how sure they were that they would never gain the weight back, but their confidence was tainted by the questions.
No kidding.
It is hard. It is hard when you don't have two trainers and a host of personal chefs. It is hard when you don't have a team of support there for you 24/7. It is hard when America is not watching every move you make.
I don't envy these folk, because I know how hard it is for me. Every part of me wants to give in to the temptations that call to me. I want to eat dessert for breakfast, cookies for lunch, and cheesecake for supper. I don't want to exercise; I want to surf the internet, read books, talk to friends.
But in the end, it is not about what we want to do. It is about what is right. I know that it is not right to wallow in my bad habits. It is right to honor the health I've been given and to work to maintain that health by adopting a lifestyle that reflects gratitude not gluttony. That's what is right.
But it is hard. Very hard.
Trying to increase good habits and decrease bad ones,
Aileen
