Ps, Jillian Michaels episode I am sure is great. Getting into it now. I photo assisted on so many biggest loser shoots for People magazine. Unfortunately I am the asshole that said “let’s put each sister in a pants leg to show that they lost enough weight to make 3rd sister.” Sorry world. 😞
It was dehumanizing. I wasn’t thinking at the time.
the fact that you are able to self-reflect, see the issues of your participation, can admit to them and move forward with that knowledge to do better is fantastic. Self awareness and humility for past choices and actions is so hard (I have much experience too), but very necessary.
Many many many hours of meditation as a Buddhist practitioner allows you to do it. My goodness not easy and to burst into tears when seeing past actions like this, when I should have known better but being in a new industry for me that I have been striving for did it anyway, yeah. I think that night
I cast of my transient self and revealed my Buddha nature and really practiced. Thank you for your kind words. Hope my experience can help other men self reflect. It is not easy for us to admit being weak in this patriarchal society. We are all moving forward though, baby steps.
