A few years ago, Rosemary Clooney,
Aunt of George Clooney, appeared on Tom Snyder’s radio show. Clooney and Snyder have known each other for years, ever since they became neighbors in Beverly Hills.
“Rosie,” Snyder said. “You look great. Did you lose weight?”
“Yes,” the 300+ pound Clooney replied. “Last I checked it was over half a ton.”
The two laughed, the studio phones lit up with callers and the comment became part of the Clooney saga.
Rosemary Clooney – like millions of other Americans – always seemed to be on a diet.
And, she probably did lose 1,000 pounds. The problem, she lamented, was that she gained 1,002 pounds.
How many pounds have each of lost – and then gained back? If weight fluctuates day-by-day, maybe by a pound or two, does that mean each of us loses 365 pounds a year? Makes sense, but that means people also gain 365 – or maybe even 730 – pounds a year. That can’t be
healthy.
Many determine their self worth by their weight alone. Overweight people are often shunned by Hollywood, some make lifestyle changes and
become incredibly fit. Once a celebrity has made changes in their
life and gotten into shape, they often receive lucrative offers as a spokesperson for health and fitness related products.
It sometimes seems as though anyone who has ever lost weight ends up pitching their own diet or their workout program. These celebrities use their weight loss to get television commercials for diet companies or diet supplements.
Talk show hosts can go, from showing a wagon full of “fat” to confessing to gaining weight back, and former sitcom stars enter self-imposed me a culpa when
they lose and then gain and then lose and then gain…again and again.
A very common question you see on the internet is, “how to lose weight fast?” The best method is diet and exercise. So then why are people constantly looking for a shortcut, for a magic pill or secret solution? Many people are turning to the internet and websites like the biggest loser forum to find responsible weight loss advice from people who know what they are talking about.
Everyone wants the contestants on shows like “The Biggest Loser” to succeed. The workout and diet regimens on the show are inspiring to millions. Just stepping onto a scale in front of millions of people is enough to make most sweat bullets. (Most people find it difficult to be weighed at the doctor’s office by one medical assistant.)
If we would pay as much attention to our weight year round as we do at New Years, we would be a much healthier nation. Become a big loser this year and stick your health goals all twelve months of the year.
