I have said all along that this wasn't about the Biggest Loser show and winners - that folks that dropped off just let the cream rise to the top - but there are some things I just cannot understand.
Like - almost 100,000 people joining, and quitting before the first month was over.
Like - how many quit because they weren't the top 5????
Like - folks that said they wanted to help us - were on the calls - and just refuse to reply to any messages, though there had been a relationship before the finals.
Like - folks knowing that you sent them a thank you gift in the mail - matted, oak framed prints of my paintings, specifically that person had chosen - Knew UPS had it there(acknowledged in the only email response), said they were going to pick it up - then just let it go without so much as a 'oops', or 'don't want your junk' or reply to 'did you want this or not?' as if she were too 'something' to even pick up a package....I think it was refused. We paid extra to get it wrapped nicely - and shipped and if it wasn't for the great people at our UPS store, we wouldn't even be able to claim it back so we can give it to someone more deserving. Anyone want a copy of my paintings? (Ok, yeah - this one is specific - duh - and is not Stephanie).
And - in the last 8 days - those that posted on this site are the ones that won 'nothing'. None of the winners have posted in at least 8 days(I know they are busy, it's summer, etc. - but that makes my point). Without winning anything, and even with the business of life and summer, the non winning posters are still here, supporting the lifelong struggle of those that did this to change their lives.
To all those that have posted or read in the last 8 days, to those who did not win anything, but stayed to make a change - YOU ARE THE CREAM OF THIS CROP!
and to some of the others who have no time for those that were part of the whole package, even though you were in lights and on camera and on campus, you  are just curdled cheese.
Again, my hat is off to the real winners of the Million Pound Challenge.....YOU who are still fighting - and carrying on the message.
