I have to admit with the invention of the DVR I am able to watch some shows like American Idol, Biggest Loser, Survivor and the others that I just did not have time for in the past.
I am always amazed at some of the stories on these shows!
American Idol tries to pull you in with their contestants by painting pictures of their lives and there are always a few that make me realize how many things we can accomplish if we truly want to.
Much of our discussion here is in relation to weight loss or working out....how simple those things are when you read in the paper that a dad was taking his college daughter back to college from dinner when he got in a car accident she died and he lived.
Think of the journey ahead of him....or the guy on Idol who was engaged and his fiance got hurt so severely that she is practically unable to do anything but he wakes up every day and takes care of her just as he loved and cared for her when healthy.
These people need to wake up every day and face tremendous challenges...how tough is it to put down the Twinkie or get on the treadmill.....sometimes we make our situations much bigger and complex than they really are.....stay focused and share some good news or victories with the folks here on this site if you want to...it is encouraging!
