I have turned my weight loss journey into a TV show! (OK, it's just little videos on youtube but it still counts)
For me, it has worked great, for several reasons!
First.. I put myself out there an I know people are watching, which means failiure will have more on an impact, and will be pretty humiliating rather than just a feeling of returning to the status quo..
Also, I am getting lots of support from strangers which helps a lot too.
I know there are a lot of weight loss-attempt videos out there that are depressing and sad and I don't find them inspiring.. so I am trying to make mine fun! By doing this I hope to break the cycle of "Obesity causes depression, depression causes obesity".
And one more reason it works great is that i get messages from people saying have helped/inspired them and that is one heck of a boost.
So what I am doing here is extending an invitation for everyone to join me! Get a cheap webcam and make a show. You can either join me and I can help you get started, or you could make your own show! If you do it on your own, please drop me a line, because I would still like to know about it, and also, we should support each other. On you tube, the more views, subscriptions, ratings and comments you get the more your vids get around, and the more people are helped / inspired, and thus you get a bigger boost!
If you think this sounds cool, check out my youtube show on and tell me what you think. I have episodes so far.. and if you wanna join up, drop me a line! I think we're on to a weight loss revolution here!
Thank you for your time!
