This first blog is to describe the situation I have gotten myself into! I am about to take advantage of the biggest opportunity that has ever come my way. For all of those who know me, I have battled my weight for a very long time. I have tried every diet and nothing seems to get me to the point where I keep it off. Then, about 2 months ago, I received a call that changed my life forever. It was a producer from the Dr. Phil show. I had been chosen to participate in a weight loss challenge, sponsored and supported by Dr. Phil. At first I thought it was just a big joke and that my stupid brother tried to get over on me. I do love ya Bro, but it is something you would do! But much to my amazement, it was real. Before I knew it I was on a plane to LA to spend time filming and learning about what was expected of me. It was a life changing week. I met many amazing people, most of whom I am sure will be lifetime friends. I already feel that they are family and we haven't even started this adventure. While in LA, I found out that the show "The Doctors" is also involved. I am not at liberty to share many details yet, but I really need your support through this! The first airing for Dr. Phil is on Wed Jan 5, and the first airing for The Doctors is on Thu Jan 6. Dr Phil is the most amazing man I have ever met. I know know a lot of why I have been unsuccessful in my previous diets. A doctor by the name of Dr Mike Moreno wrote a book titled The 17 Day Diet. This is the diet i will be following. For all of you who have some weight to lose, I advise you to buy the book and follow the diet with me! You can purchase the book through DrPhil.com. There is so much more I want to say but can't right now. I am asking for support and encouragement. I am so ready to do this. i will update this blog often so everyone can check up on me. And remember, tune in to Dr. Phil on wed, as well as all the other episodes (which I will post the dates when filmed), and root me on! It is an exciting experience everyone will enjoy, especially all you women who have been dying to see in my underwear weighing in on TV in front of millions of people! LOL I will talk to ya soon!
