WARNING: If you are reading this and you have not seen this weeks Biggest Loser this will contain spoilers so you may want to STOP NOW!
So last night's Biggest Loser was pretty intense. All of the contestants had to run a marathon and they all were able to finish. What an accomplishment for people who were severely morbidly obese. Most of them probably have never been inside of a gym prior to the Biggest Loser.
I think who touched me the most last night was Daris. Why? Well I can relate. Overall, I have done very well in my weight loss but even after a year and a half I still find myself slacking off. Old habits are hard to kill. I think Daris had that eye opening experience last night. He was so focus on his goal of beating Tara Costa's time on the marathon, that he forgot about his weight loss program as a whole. This lack of focus caused him a 2 lb gain on the scale putting him below the yellow line with Koli. I can only imagine he was eating what he wanted because he thought it would be ok because he was running for hours.
What happened to Daris is a prime example of what kind of life we all lead. Let's face it we are all busy and the moment that we let our healthy eating habits or daily exercise slip away, we find our self back in the same situation. The scale is moving the wrong way. We are feeling fatigue because we are not exercising or eating properly. What Jillian said about Daris not controlling his food portions was eye opening to me. Recently, I have been guilty of the same thing. When Daris was not concerned about his gain and said how proud he was about his time on the marathon, I saw myself. Now don't get me wrong it is great to celebrate our accomplishments of our goals. However, when we allow them to over shadow our set backs it can lead us into dangerous territories. But I do think that Daris deserves a second chance. So vote DARIS!!!
