weight loss and challenging yourself

Good morning....Giants at 1PM....not sure i feel great about this game..Phillie kind of hot and Giants really do not have a great number one receiver now...should be a battle...I have a bet with one of my patients, Frank....avid Eagles fan....if Giants win, he has to wear my Eli Manning shirt and bring bagels to my office staff some friday morning...if Eagles win (gag) I need to wear his estbrook jersey and bring Frank and his wife Karen a Chinese dinner,

Okay...enough football (dont worry...baseball season I will not rant about the Mets)

I see promotions all the time for the hit TV show "Biggest Loser"...this of course, is a completely NOT reality because for the tens of millions of people trying/needing to lose lots of weight, there is no network ready to dump lots of money on them for doing it...I love the concept of a "reality" show when it is anything but reality. The reality for all of us is this: losing weight is for YOU...YOUR health...YOUR happiness...YOUR self esteem etc. There is no one out there that will throw money at you for doing this...the fire and desire have to come from within...you need to challenge yourself to rise above the instinctual urges that sabotage our dietary plans. You need to challenge yourself to focus on the long term enhancement of your life that weight loss will allow to happen. Challenge yourself to hit certain goals and reward yourself (non-calorically of course) as you hit certain milestones. Be the Biggest Winner in your own series...this is reality...because if you can, you will live longer, be healthier and be happier.
