Inspiration from Jillian

I was watching biggest loser tonight and something Jillian said stuck out to me. For those of you who don't know what biggest loser is, is its a show where people loose weight, learn who they are, and how to live life (to start over). Its not just a place to get on the right track but its also a GAME. There competeting each week to not get the lowest percentage of weight loss in result of getting kicked off or voted off. In the end who ever is the biggest loser wins whatever amount of money. If you don't watch the show you also don't know who or what Jillian is. Jillian is one of the trainers along with Bob.

I've always admired Jillian for her straight forward- ness (if that is even a word). She's tough and scary but she does that because she cares (I'll admit that she has even made me jump in my seat through the tv). Though i have never struggled with a weight problem personally, some of the things she says on the show is very inspiring to me. Tonight she said; "The more you push, the more you stuff, the more you stack, the more you suffocate." I have never thought of it this way but it got me thinking, Jillian is right - the more you keep things compressed inside the harder it is to breathe everyday and sooner or later, somehow your going to have to take a breath.

I guess this was how i was feeling for the past couple of years and, i recently realized that i don't want to live my life gasping for air all the time.

Thanks Jillian for the inspiration, your a true role model!- in everything you do! =)
