Paying It Forward<\/p>\n

\"Live<\/a>When I was on the Biggest Loser<\/a><\/strong> I spent hours on different machines and the only thing that got me through it was planning on how I was going to live my life differently and with purpose. It was inspiring to have the blood flow through my limbs and I wanted to make sure that I was going to be a part of something bigger than myself.<\/p>\n

As amazing as the Biggest Loser was it was very \u201cme\u201d focused and that can become a negative unless you have a cause. Every day was spent focusing on what I ate, how I moved and trying to navigate how I felt, I just couldn’t do it unless I let myself dream about how me taking this time to find my way back to my true self would mean something to more than just me. I needed to know that my life meant something and that\u2019s what allowed me to completely dedicate<\/a><\/strong> myself to changing what needed to be changed and rebuilding what worked.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I knew that once I hit the real world meaning going back to my life, that I wanted to do whatever I could to help share what I was experiencing. You see there is only one secret on the Biggest Loser campus and I wanted to do everything I could to spread that. The secret is that there is no secret and the magic is looking at you in the mirror. What I did<\/em> realize is that I couldn’t do it alone and I couldn’t do it with out cause. Spreading the secret became my cause.<\/p>\n
