Emotional Moment- Biggest Loser

Options
This actually happened to me last week, and I finally shared it with my husband a few days ago. Tonights episode reminded me so I thought I'd share. (short disclaimer, I am a bona-fide "emotional robot" so keep in mind this is a big deal for me!)

Last week while I was watching there was a clip that was showed the Blonde Former Model on the Green team. This chick was working out in the gym and Jillian kept asking her over and over "Why are you here?" or something like that and she was pushing herself really hard and sweating and slobbering. I can totally relate to this because sometimes I do not want to exercise, but I do it. I just do it, and I push myself really hard and I find the strength from within.

Anyway, the girl answered "I'm saving MY LIFE"

I'm saving my life too :). That's why I make the right choice even when it's hard. This realization hit me hard and I burst into tears.

After that I quickly dried up as to protect my ' tough girl' exterior. LOL

    I Think that is awesome, thanks for sharing! That is what I am doing too. My mom and her mom (my grandma) and her dad (my great grandpa) are/have suffered w/ diabetes. It killed my great grandpa, is killing my greandma (she is on insulin and so does not take care of her health at all!) and I"m really hoping my mom can get it together, but I just don't know. IT HAS TO STOP HERE! My dad and his mom both suffer from high blood pressure, she has had 2 strokes and a heart attack. This is very serious. Lets face it, vanity plays a little bit of a role, we all want to look good. But saving our life, that should be an obvious one. Thanks again for making that important point.
