Learn The Secret To Becoming the Biggest Loser
Legendary singer Rosemary Clooney (and aunt of George Clooney) returned to Tom Snyder’s national radio show one time. Having been neighbors for years in Beverly Hills, Snyder and Clooney knew each other very well.
“Rosie,” Snyder said. “You look great. Did you lose weight?”
“Yes,” the 300+ pound Clooney replied. “Last I checked it was over half a ton.”
The two laughed, the studio phones lit up with callers and the comment became part of the Clooney saga.
Rosemary Clooney – like millions of other Americans – always seemed to be on a diet.
And, she probably did lose 1,000 pounds. The problem, she lamented, was that she gained 1,002 pounds.
How many of us have lost weight, only to gain it back? If weight fluctuates day-by-day, maybe by a pound or two, does that mean each of us loses 365 pounds a year? Makes sense, but that means people also gain 365 – or maybe even 730 – pounds a year. Is it even worth it?
Like
it or not, people are judged by their weight. Few out of shape people make it in Hollywood, its almost a prerequisite to look like an “model” or “actor” to be a model or
actor. Then, they begin to
sound like Richard Simmons, former overweight person turned longtime advocate of fitness and weight maintenance.
Those who have been successful at losing weight can become best selling authors or spokespersons for the latest fad diet. People love to see celebrities on TV pitching a diet plan or some magic pill to lose weight.
There seems to be an epidemic of those that constantly move up and down the scale.
A very common question you see on the internet is, “how to lose weight fast?” The permanent solution is diet and exercise So then why are people constantly looking for a shortcut, for a magic pill or secret solution? Many people are turning to the internet and websites like the biggest loser forum to find responsible weight loss advice from people who know what they are talking about.
America loves to route for an underdog, such as the contestants on The Biggest Loser. The workout and diet regimens on the show are inspiring to millions. Simply being weighed in front of millions of people would be a deal-breaker for most. (Most people find it difficult to be weighed at the doctor’s office by one medical assistant.)
Why do people wait until a new year to resolve to lose weight? This can be the year that we truly become the Biggest Loser.
