At least I'm not the only one wearing pink. |
I'm praying for those trying out. I hope that you remember that your audition experience should be as fun as possible. Bring coats and gloves and your own seating, because if you're at a live audition, the wait is usually horrendous. I stood in line in freezing temperatures for six hours without gloves or seating. Now, my hands cramp up in cold weather. If you're trying out at a live audition or submitting a tape, my advice is the same. Talk to the camera or the casting director like they were your best friend. Tell them everything. Don't ever leave that table or submit a tape thinking that you left something out. Finally, accept that getting rejected is part of the process. Don't expect to be rejected. Visualize success. But, if it happens, don't take it personally. There's always next season.
One more thing: I never auditioned for Biggest Loser thinking it was a magic pill that would cure me of my obesity. Ultimately, we all have to decide what we really want and go for it. I knew the entire time that if I wanted to lose the weight, only I could take the action to make it happen. My biggest regret is waiting this long to start. I'm 40 pounds away from losing 10% of my original body weight. The other day, I cried to myself because I was finally able to look in the full length mirror that hangs on my door and be proud of the person I saw there. My journey has only just begun and I know I'll stumble, but I'm not going to stop moving. This audition process is a step in your life change. Don't stop no matter what happens. Keep going until you get exactly what you want.
Good luck!
Bobby - I love you so much!!! You are so amazing and you are going to inspire so many people along the way. I'm so happy that you were able to take away a positive attitude from your experience with us. So many people before you have gone the other direction and only become more unhappy. You are one of those that I knew from the start would be able to make the change...I knew you would find it within you. I wish you all the best and please never stop fighting the good fight. You CAN and you WILL succeed and get to live to be a part of all the dreams you've had and still have. Thank you for this blog post and thank you for being you. Much love and prayers for a happy future.
