The Biggest Loser casting in Louisville
The Biggest Loser had a casting call in Lousiville, KY today, which is only a few hours away from me. I only discovered this a few days ago or I would have loved to have made plans to go. I've watched every full season of the show and am addicted to past cast members' Myspaces, but I don't know what I'd do if the opportunity were actually presented for me to go on the show. Probably chicken out at the thought of the public watching my fat jiggle while I endure the torturous workouts, haha. However, instead of attending the casting, I had to work all day today. Therefore, I remain undiscovered by the reality television casting gods.
so...
I've been thinking about starting a blog for a long time now, but never actually got around to doing it until today. I guess an introduction of sorts is in order, in case anyone ever actually starts reading, haha.
Who am I?
I'm not sure I want to make this un-anonymous right now, so I'll leave out my name. I'm 21 years old, work part time as a pharmacy technician, am trying to figure out what I want to do with my life - as such, I just completed my 3rd year of community college without declaring a major...pretty much everything else will be revealed as I go, I suppose. Oh yeah, and I'm fat. Not just vanity pounds fat - 300 plus pounds fat. The reason this blog exists.
Why she overflows?
The name actually comes from the lyrics of The River and the Highway by country singer Pam Tillis. I used to listen to it a lot when I was a kid, but never really understood the lyrics until I re-listened to it as an "adult" (still a little difficult to consider myself an adult, haha). For some reason, this line sticks with me: And every now and then, she overflows. I definitely feel that I'm overflowing - physically, mentally, I'm kind of a pretty big mess.
Why blog?
I plan to chronicle my second weightloss journey here. Between the ages of about 15 and 20, I lost and regained 100 pounds. Yes, I regained 100 pounds. Actually, 95, but 100 is a little more striking. Either way, it sucks. I suck. I have much more to say on the topic, but that's why I decided to blog about it! Also, I plan to review diet and fitness books and products I've tried/plan to try.
Why now?
Why not? Also, I must confess...I needed an opportunity to enter a contest on the wonderfully inspiring Pasta Queen's blog, and figured, why not do both at once? So until I get some establishment here, and even afterward, why not watch her lose 100 pounds in 7 seconds?
So...
I know no one's reading now, but hopefully that changes soon! I think having this extra outlet will hopefully aid in my weightloss journey, which I plan to write more about in my next post. I also hope that I can show anyone else who's gained weight back that its not impossible to do it again (also hope to prove this to myself!).
