I was SO critical of myself in those "skinny" photos I remember, but it's because my mind hadn't caught up!! Losing weight too fast does do that to you. I have 25 lbs to lose again now and I look at those photos and think, darn, I looked good, what was my problem?! WOW Matt that is exactly how I feel now too.

Least it has not in my case, yet. It's been almost 2 years since our finale on Season 5, and I still feel fat. If you were to ask me outright what I thought of myself, for the last two years, and still today, I'd say, "I'm fat". Will my mind ever catch up? Or my eyes for that matter...it's the eyes seeing fat in the mirrow. I am HYPER critical of myself now since the show. But, we are also ALWAYS being judged. You tell someone you were on BL and they immediatly check you up and down. I've stopped telling people I was on the show (which is much easier for me since I did not win) I am still around my finale weight of 229, am an avid triathlete and currently training for marathon, but I still feel fat. I know now that I will always be known as BL Neill to everyone, so I have to get used to it...which I honestly dont want to. I dont like being labled as a celebrity or being special. I want my life to go back to annoymus like it was ... I knew at the time the show was popular and stuff, but I never knew it was this big a deal to so many people. Thanks for the blog posts, just about everyone you have written have spoken to me in some way also having been in close to the same boat. Neill.

Seriously. Other than being on BL, I could have written this post. You perfectly described all that I felt after losing 70lbs. Thank you for being so real and so open. I have so much respect for you and Suzy because of your 'realness'. You put into words what so many feel. Matt, you will never know how much your posts about your ‘after life’ mean to me. Seriously.
