It's really quite an insult to be called a loser, but in this sense, I want to be called that. I really want to be called that.
This morning in SLC there was an open casting call for Biggest Loser season 12. My cousin Erin and I went - got there at 5 am. Finally got to see the casting directors about 8:45, and by 9 am we were driving home. We spent 7 minutes talking with 12 other hopefuls and the casting girls (seriously, there were like 12 years old).
And since it's past 8 pm, I know I didn't get a callback. Darn.
On the one hand I'm seriously disappointed. I mean, I would love to have someone push me hard and make that my only focus for a time. I think I could easily lose 175 pounds with the right kind of push. That's half my freaking body weight!
On the other hand, I'm kind of glad. See, if I got accepted and went away to "fat camp" I'd be away from my beloved children for up to 3 1/2 months. That would suck something fierce. Just thinking of video chatting with my kids while being gone made me cry this morning. It would just about kill them (not to mention how hard it would be on my dear husband) to have me gone. Heck, in 2 weeks Brent and I are going away for 3 days for our anniversary and that's already killing me. I haven't even gone and I'm already counting down the time till I get home.
Anyway, I didn't get in. They said to send in a video submission. That'll be due in 2 weeks, but I'm not sure I want to apply. I should just get my butt into gear and do the work. I should just apply all the tricks I've learned.
What a concept, eh?
I think I need to start by getting a scale and a full-length mirror. It's time to stop avoiding...

Heather, my sister has a friend that has lost 170 pounds using Weight Watchers and a book called "The Game On! Diet" by Krista Vernoff. I started doing it with my mom and sisters a couple weeks ago. It just integrates healthy eating and exercising and good habits and makes a game of it. It is fun, you have teams and report to each other how it is going. If you check it out and want to do a game or find people, I'm doing it for the month of March and would probably like to keep going. It gives more accountability that going it alone. I have been eating crap for a long time now and I look like it. But I just feel better when I eat right. My sister's friend who lost all that weight has a blog. Here's a link
