Learn The Secret To Becoming the Biggest Loser
Thursday, March 11th, 2010A few years ago, Rosemary Clooney,
Aunt of George Clooney, appeared on Tom Snyder’s radio show. Clooney and Snyder were long-time neighbors in Beverly Hills and had known each other well for a long time.
“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.
Have you lost several pounds, 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?
Americans put a huge emphasis on weight and appearance. Overweight people are often shunned by Hollywood, some make lifestyle changes and
become incredibly fit. Once a celebrity has made changes in their
life and gotten into shape, they often receive lucrative offers as a spokesperson for health and fitness related products.
It sometimes seems as though anyone who has ever lost weight ends up pitching their own diet or their workout program. These celebrities use their weight loss to get television commercials for diet companies or diet supplements.
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 smart answer is diet and
exercise. So with an answer so simple and obvious, why are there always new fad diets and shortcuts to weight loss popping up? 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.
Everyone routes for contestants that are on the Biggest Loser to succeed and reach their weight loss goals. The workout and diet regimens on the show are inspiring to millions. Just stepping onto a scale in front of millions of people is enough to make most sweat bullets. (Most people find it difficult to be weighed at the doctor’s office by one medical assistant.)
None of us need the beginning of a new year to make a resolution to lose weight. Maybe this will be the year we stick to our goals and become a big loser.
