Hello Fat and Fit Fans,

August 18, 2008  – Day 227

Yesterday was my birthday!

Anyway…
Yes, the Dr. Phil Show called me last week to tell me I did not
get a spot on the new Dr Phil Weightloss Challenge…

I auditioned on June 28 and have been going through
the audition process until last Thursday.

Here is a video for you to check out…

That’s why I have not been blogging and posting anything….
They had asked me to keep this under the radar for the
time being.

Cat’s out of the bag now!

I was actaully surprised at how dissappointed I was not
getting a spot on Dr. Phil’s The Weightloss Challenge…

It would have been a great opportunity for me…

6 weeks at a boot camp of sorts to focus 100%  on my
health and weightloss. I’ve been struggling with this for
the last 10 years.

However, through the process of auditioning for the
Challenge and reading a number of Dr. Phils books has
been a really good thing for me.

The biggest thing I realized was my problem with
gaining weight started in 1992. A number of things happened
in that year that turned my life upside down.

The result was the beginning of severe low self esteem which
lead to the beginning of my weight gain journey.

The process was an eye opening inventory of the
good bad and ugly in my life.

The first book I read by Dr Phil in this process was called:
“The Ultimate Weight Loss Challenge…
The 7 Keys To Weighloss Freedom.”

Excellent book! Bravo Dr Phil…

Over the coming weeks I’ll write about the things
I am discovering through this weight loss process.

Bottom Line…
I want to Thank the staff at The Dr Phil Show.
They are good people!

I will be using the formula Dr Phil laid out in his book
for at least 6 weeks. The exact time I was going to be away
on this Challenge.

Then I’ll re-evaluate…

Weather you are a fan of Dr. Phil or not, I am going to give
this a genuine effort. I haven’t been able to do this on my own
so, I may as well try Dr Phils approach.

I’ve got nothing to lose…

So with that in mind….
