It's not a secret. I love food. Obviously. You don't get to 305 pounds not loving food. Last night, I was on FaceTime with my parents, and they were eating chocolate chip cookies. First of all, yum! I was super proud of myself because I was like "chocolate chip cookies? I don't need those! I had a great day!" So I wrote my blog and went to bed.
This morning, waking up, I again had that great drive to have a great day. Until... afternoon. The deadliest time of day. All I wanted was chocolate. It all started with an ice cream sandwich. 110 calories. Not bad, right?! If I would've stopped there, it wouldn't have been bad. However, the small little devil sitting on my shoulder convinced me it was over. So, my day turned to shit. I hate that.
But, like I said, admitting is the first step. I'm not perfect, I don't claim to be. It's only day 2, but I will wake up tomorrow morning and not allow it to ruin my day. And the reason why deserves a whole new heading.
Wait, he remembered me?
A year ago, I was still living in Toledo, Ohio, and I was a part of a locally televised competition show similar to the Biggest Loser. I was part of the "featured" players, and our host actually got in contact with Patrick House, winner of season 8 of the national Biggest Loser show. I talked to him quite a bit that night, getting advice and whatnot. Come to find out, on our show for that month, I was a featured player that was talked about between him and our host because I was at the bottom of the leader-board.
Soon following, I went to a casting call for The Biggest Loser on NBC in Detroit. I had received notification that they wanted more information on me, so I got ahold of Patrick again and he gave me advice on making my video for the casting directors. I wasn't sure if he remembered me or not, but it was great to get advice from him. Especially since the casting director I heard from was his casting director! AH!
A few days ago, I saw on Facebook that he was coming to Phoenix to promote a new Planet Fitness opening up nearby, so I asked him to send me information about it and I would come visit. I not only got to talk to him via Facebook to arrange coming to see him, but I also got to see him and talk to him 1 on 1, and he remembered me! I was so surprised! It was so cool, and he's such a nice guy. One thing he tells me every time I see him, and it hits me like a rock every time he says it, is "don't give up. Ever. Just keep plugging away, and the weight will come off!"
Now, I didn't get a picture with him today. I figured this is the second time I've talked to him, so I didn't want to be all "I want a picture with you!" So, I am putting a picture of me on here from last year. I was about 250 pounds in this picture. Kindof funny - I'm thinner in this picture and he has lost weight since this picture. Yikes!
Ok, well, I guess this time tomorrow I will be updating yet again. Better news tomorrow - I promise!
