So i was sitting around tonight after work. Didn't really have much to do so i decided to watch the biggest loser. That is one TV show that can get me to cry in an instant. Those people were so upset with their previous lives and were so happy just to lose 10 pounds in a week. Granted that's a huge defeat, but when they only lose 4 pounds in a week they are upset. They don't realize that you have to take it week by week and sometimes day by day.
Anyway, back to my beginning point. In the biggest loser, they have always had this curse of having a bad 2nd week. People worked their butts off to prove this curse wrong and they so hard to overcome this upcoming failure. Every season so far they have failed and have lost maybe 2 lbs and some even gained in that week. The stress takes an effect on them and does the worst of all effects it usually has...it gave them all the wonderful gain of pounds.
They overcame that curse this past season. She gave them the idea of losing over 150 pounds and no one would get voted off this week. The trainers thought it was "unfair and impossible". They obviously were going to try their hardest to get everyone to overcome this curse and reach this goal, but they weren't keeping their hopes up too much.
Everyone worked their butts off and it ended up that during the week they did these activities that were testing their knowledge or calories in various foods and also testing their physical balance and team work. Between the 2 activities they were able to get their goal of 150 pounds this week down to 115 and they got phone calls back to their families. Right before they were about to accomplish the phone calls home, they were saying how they had to have these and how there was no other choice. They wanted so much to hear their families' voices. Obviously, this was the most emotional part of the whole show this week, and that is also the part where I just couldn't hold the tears back.
Back to the previous point, they kicked that 115 pound goal in the butt and ended up having 1 more team left, so they put the 150 up there so see if that team could reach the 150 rest of the way. They ended up only needing 18 pounds but in the 2nd week you never know what is going to happen.
Bottom line is, they reached the goal and it was all mind over matter. They showed America that there is no such thing as a 2nd week curse. Not anymore! It was all successful and they showed us that there is always hope. No matter what people say or whether people support you, if you have the will and the motivation to get something done, YOU CAN! It's funny how people say that reality TV is so scripted...maybe it is, but this show I've always found to be amazing. It shows us that there is hope out there for everyone and every situation. Keep your head up in problems and know that there is always someone there sitting right next to you that is always open for conversation and would love to take your burdens from you...God.
Yeah, they did a lot of determination and a lot of training to get that goal reached but let's not forget who gave them that strength and who gave them that determination to do what needed to be done so that they could keep one more player on the show.
As it comes to family, before I went down to the gym to clear my head I was talking to my sister in law on Facebook and she had the idea to do a little Skype. I agreed and when we got on their my nephew who i haven't seen in a while was all talk as usual. Then they she asked him if he could say anna. He smiled and said, "Nana!" That's the family moments I miss. That's what makes me tear up and smile and want more and more of those moments.
Family is a big aspect to life. Let's not forget that whether it's our immediate family or if it's our brothers and sisters in Christ, that we are all to love and care for each other all the days of our lives. They are the ones who help get us through the day. They are the never ending friends that we can call when we need help or when we just need to vent or when we just need to sit in silence. Family matters...that's all there is to it. Our almighty God is the ultimate father and we love that he's always there for us. Let's not forget these things.
God's Love,
Anna
