Greg's Blog Week 1
He may’ve been eliminated, but Greg learned a lot from the experience.

Hi all,

What a week at Camp Biggest Loser,

I haven’t exercised for 15 years, and to be thrust straight into that it’s like ‘come on?!’

I was missing my wife terribly, and my body was fighting against itself. My mind was just going you can’t do this, and my body’s going you’re an idiot.

You know nothing about the outside world. If war broke out you wouldn’t know anything about it. You’re shut away from everybody. So if you’ve got kids, and are a happily married person, it’s hard. I’ve only got my wife; Damien and Joe have children, young children, and their wives as well, so if I found it difficult how are they finding it?

I was fighting with Michelle. She said okay, you don’t want to do the exercise; I’ll make your brothers work twice as hard. That was our first training session. And I was like I can’t do that, so I did it. And then we went up to the boxing ring and I thought I have to do this, even though I was hurting. Even Michelle I could see was proud – she actually smiled.

But my family weren’t happy with me because I wasn’t 100% in this. Damien said to me respect is earned. So I conceded there was a rift growing between me and the three of them. I just went look, if you want me to go I’ll go, and they were like okay, we’ll put Gregory up for elimination.

I honestly thought I was that likeable that people weren’t going to vote my out, but it’s a game, and you’re going to try and knock-off your competitors.

I have no animosity towards anybody on that show. I liked everybody; they voted me out with their hearts, not their heads, and good luck to them all.

Greg
