Rarely am I inspired while watching TV. Certainly not “reality TV” but there are a few exceptions here and there. One is the The Biggest Loser on NBC. I am a huge fan of the show and last night when I was watching the finale I was so inspired by the contestants. They literally got up off their couches five months ago and got on a scale for millions of people to see how incredilby overweight they were.
Each week we see the transformation of their bodies. We get a glimpse into what has taken them down this road with being overweight. These are real people just like you and me. They have a story and they are brave enough to share it and admit to what has brought them to their lowest point in life.
I don’t know about you but I don’t like to get on a scale in front of ANYONE and I am only 110 lbs. It amazes me how dedicated and strong these people are. The show is ”a game” of sorts and the winner takes home 250K. Yes, that would be motivating but it is not easy to lose hundreds of pounds no matter how much money is at stake. You have to be extremely dedicated. The participants are getting their lives back – one pound at a time.
THAT is inspiring.
Are there things lately that have inspired you? Please share~

Makes you realize that anything is possible if you put your mind to it…! Possible, not easy!
