Biggest Loser Casting Call Here I Come!

Whether you do or don’t know – I have been struggling with my weight since I was born.

When I was 4 I weighed 60 lbs. I weighed 150 at 8 years old. I wore a size 50 pant size in 6th grade.

By 18 I weighed over 400 lbs and wore a size 60 pant. Yet, besides my weight I have been in mostly good health. Knock on wood – but I have managed to not have many of the illnesses associated with obesity.

My BMI is nearly twice what is considered morbidly obese (currently it is 82)- yet I am still able to get around, I’m not limited too much in what I can do – I do have lots of muscle tone and I never stop doing what I want to do, although over the past year or two life has become a bit more challenging.

The only real complaint is that my weight is causing me to be less than fertile, and my wife desperately wants to have children, more than anything. I love her a lot and want her to be happy, and I’ve always wanted children as well – but I especially want to give her this gift.  I also have a lot of pain in my low back and knees.

Which brings me to the Biggest Loser Casting call. I am trying out for the Biggest Loser in Columbus Ohio this weekend.

The Million Dollar Manifestation….

When I originally conceived of this blog I had just watched the movie “The Secret” about the Law of Attraction. I made a manifestation of becoming a millionaire by my 30th birthday. (I have 8 months left…)

I’ve been swimming a lot lately and have lost some weight on my own – but I’ve had a lot of time to think while in the pool. It dawned on me – that if I were on the Biggest Loser I might once and for all reach my dream weight of 200 lbs.

It would increase my self esteem, my self image, my confidence, and it would be a motivation for all other areas of my life. It then dawned on me — Becoming lean – would be worth well over a million dollars… (What price can you put on 10+ extra years of life?)

I knew then that I had to try out for the Biggest Loser…I’m not guaranteed to win, not by any means – or even to be cast – but I believe that this is my time.

Please Say a Prayer for Me…

If you have the time I would certainly appreciate any prayers, or thoughts. I’m excited and nervous about this prospect. I’ve never done anything like this before, and I’m a little afraid of what happens when I do make it on the show – Bob and Jillian are HARSH to say the least, but I know I will be better for the experience.

This would definitely be my biggest dream come true. (Dang that sounds cheesy.)
