Inside Brookhaven Obesity Clinic
My wife recorded a whole series of the “Inside Brookhaven Obesity Clinic” show from TLC for me. I watched 3 episodes straight. Good thing that I can skip all the commercials :)
“Inside Brookhaven Obesity Clinic” is a TV show about people struggling to solve their morbidly obese problems at the clinic. Most of them are inches away from death, and yet many of them still don’t understand the situation.
Many of them cheat the dieting program designed by the clinic by sneaking in fast foods and not following the exercise programs. I just couldn’t understand why they aren’t even trying to lose weight knowing that their weight will kill them in any time.
While filming the show, a lady who also cheat the program passed away from heart failure. The incident shocked many of the cheaters and changed their behaviors. But I have feeling that the impact will last for a few weeks. And they will go back to their regular habits.
Well, the lesson I learned from the show is that no matter how ready you are outside to lose weight, it’s not going to happen unless your mind is ready. At the Brookhaven Clinic, they provide the best support anyone can get and the best tools to help them lose weight. And yet, not everyone’s taking an advantage of that. Given the equal resources, the ones with strong will finishes the program and get their life back.
It is same for me. I have a membership to one of the best gyms and have access the best organic market in the U.S. I have all the resources I need to start dieting. But if I don’t have the right mindset, I will fail no matter what. And that’s where I lack the most.
That’s the area where I need to improve the most if I want to stay fit even after I lose my weight. Just a thought for the day.
