The Biggest Loser Season 8 premiered with the theme of “Second Chances”.
Test Daniel from Biggest Loser 7 had been given a second chance to lose the weight that he did not accomplish during his season of the show.
Abby had been given a second chance to discover what it is she is meant to do in her life after enduring tragedy within her family.
All of the 16 contestants of the hit show have come together to grab a second chance at health, body transformation and the chance to really change their lives.
My question for you is this….
Do you also deserve a second chance at transformation? I’m betting that you do and I want to support YOU in that.
Everyone makes mistakes. I’ve made a ton of mistakes these past years as I went from being 10 to 20 to 50 to 100+ pounds overweight. I did not take care of myself or put myself first during those years at all and my weight and health suffered for that.
My second chance (perhaps it was actually my 5th, 6th or more attempt at losing weight) 😉 came when I finally decided that it was now or never….enough talking about it, thinking about it…planning for it. There has to come a time when you simply must decide to treat yourself in a better way.
I’m guessing that you’ve already spent a lot of time thinking about your weight and how much happier you would be if you could conquer whatever it is that is holding you back from digging in to the weight loss journey that you have ahead of you.
I promise that the most difficult piece is making the decision to start and getting through the first few days of your plan…whatever that might be for you.
Are you ready to change your life?
I really believe that it is the small and consistent changes that you can make right now today that will really impact your efforts and create the momentum that you need to JUST GET GOING! Make a decision to choose something small-ish that you can commit to for the next week or even for the next month.
Here are some suggestions of things you might choose to do to jumpstart your weight loss efforts:
- drinking 8 glasses of water/day
- taking a multi-vitamin daily
- walking for 15 minutes/day
- 10 minutes of stretching – really let yourself be in touch with your body
- 10 minutes of prayer or meditation to get real with yourself and your feelings
Do you have some ideas of your own? Please do comment below and I’d love to hear the commitments that you make with yourself to begin the journey towards the second chance that YOU deserve!
To YOUR Success,
Paula
You are an amazing person, with great success! Thanks so much for reminding me that I am worth a second chance (like you this is my like 100th chance)!
Kim, you are my new virtual BFF! 🙂 Can’t wait to celebrate all of your successes with you!
Great advice. Thanks for the reminders, Paula. One of the things that I found helped me maintain momentum this year was starting a blog. This was a nice way to help me with accoutability and track my progress.
I also started posting visual reminders–quotes, affirmations, photos of healthy food and people exercising–in my home office.
Thanks for everything you do!
Thanks for the comment Sheila! 🙂 I’m really enjoying your input on the forum and very glad that we’ve met up! Yay!
It is great that you have helped bring others together to help celebrate your weight loss in order to inspire and help others reach their goals. Your heart and advice are two great tools that are a constant reminder that if you set goals, have support, and focus on the important things in life you can do anything.
Thank you for all you do,
Matt Aka The Desperate House Husband 🙂
Thanks SO much for that Matt! 🙂 SO glad to have met you – you are a big part of the community and I appreciate you greatly!
