Biggest Loser: Win Finale Tickets Here
Who says blogging doesn’t get you great opportunities? Yesterday I was lucky enough to get a little time with Michelle Aguilar. Michelle won season 6 of The Biggest Loser and is the most recent celebrity to get a Milk Mustache.
I only had a few moments to ask Michelle questions. Most of the answers were predictable, she reminded me to shop at the perimeter of the grocery store, skip the sodas, candy bars and chips, move your body and start young.
Here’s what fascinated me about Michelle. Michelle graduated high school in just three years and then moved into a fast paced career. She’s no slacker (trust me, I can sniff one out), Michelle was moving too fast. Part of her weight loss was tied to slowing down. Real food takes time, you can’t eat on the run and you have to plan your meals. She said that her “fast paced world was doing damage” and that it was “Great to slow down”.
I asked Michelle what it was like to win The Biggest Loser and I lost her for a moment. I could hear her tone change and she was clearly remembering a great moment in her life. She said that she kept reminding herself to slow down, to take it all in and to enjoy every moment.
I wouldn’t be true to y’all if I didn’t try to goad her into making a comment regarding the fat acceptance movement. Michelle deftly sidestepped the issue and said only that “healthier is wholer”. I agree, and kudos to you, Michelle for your grace under fire.
I’ve never been morbidly obese, but I did gain a tremendous amount of weight with each pregnancy. I didn’t like the way I looked, but I really hated the way I felt.
When I mention The Biggest Loser on Twitter I get responses like this.
As someone who cares deeply about food and exercise, this is music to my ears.
Now, I’m going to make your dream come true.
