Extreme Weight Loss
Do you want the TV show "Extreme Weight Loss" on ABC? I do ... Never been a fan of "weight loss shows" or competition shows like this. I get my undies all in a bundle when they start talking about eating habits, etc. But, what I love about this show is that it doesn't focus on the process but rather the journey. The transformation which takes place on that journey. The road blocks that one must overcome to truly make a transformation.
I watched it last night and Bob Brenner, Waukesha County (Wis) Detective, take his journey from nearly 450 pounds to a true transformation. Yes, he lost a ton of weight - over 200 pounds. But he transformed his life, his journey, his relationship with his wife & with food, his faith in God and, lastly, his job.
I have the pleasure of living in the same state of Bob Brenner and there is so much media coverage right now on his transformation. This morning, on the newscast, there was an interview with him and his wife. He said something which resonated so deeply inside of me.
He said he realized, with the coaching of Mr. Powell, that personal integrity is key. It's setting out what you say you're going to do because you OWE IT TO YOURSELF! My husband refers to his [late] father's comments when doing business: No matter what, you always have your word. Lose that, you lose everything. And, how you use your words & match your actions to your words ... that, my friends, is INTEGRITY.
