Making the Decision to Finally losing the Weight

This is my first blog but i have always kept diaries, so writing about things happening in my life is easy, I enjoy documenting my life for some reason. Thought I would share my weight loss journey to only make it more a reality for myself. It all started in December, when I went to the doctor. I haven't been to my Gynecologist in 4 years, probably due to weight gain and even when I went I said "don't tell me how much I weigh, just tell me how much I gained in 4 years" She told me it was 40 pounds. Later I called back the office and asked to look in my file going back to 1992 when I was 120 pds to now a whopping 283pds. The majority of my weight started (10 pds a yr) after 1996 when I met my ex husband who at the time was alone taking care of 3 children 2, 4 & 6. (This story of me getting custody & raising them will come out later)

Then after season 8 ended of The Biggest Loser I said enough is enough, I am done with holding on tho this weight, which is so painful everyday. I wanted to say "It's been a life changing experience" with weight loss no matter how I got there. Within 2 days I made a phone call to 2 my close friends who have a TV productions studio attached to their ad agency. I knew if I had ANY chance at all the video had to be awesome and I knew I couldn't do it alone. My friends were reading my mind as they said to themselves, we should help get Sue on this show. Soon we met and I met their producer who I was so comfortable with. We soon realized after research that the Biggest Loser was looking for more homemade videos...not a professional job....so I borrowed an awesome video camera from a co-worker and started taping my life. Also found VSH tapes to show how think I was just 14 years ago.

I asked my kids to privately make a video clip of why their mom should be on the biggest loser (2 boys away in college, 1 girl at home). They all were awesome and another eye opener of how they would want me to get back to being more healthy and happier. Video taping at my friends house in work out clothes...yikes, I was disgusted, she said there was a casting call posted for the biggest loser in Boston and New York...I immediately booked a room in Boston and made plans to go both weekends. I had the video, and 2 casting calls, thought I was doing well.

Ok to make a long story short, we made the video and I went on 2 casting calls. If nothing happened I was on to Plan B....Plan B is what I promised my friends who let their producer helpme that if I don't get on a 1 and 250,000 chance I have a plan B.

I am now on to Plan B
