Biggest Loser: Julio Gomez Talks About His Experience
October 12, 2009 03:00 PM by Britteny Elrick
Despite being voted off The Biggest Loser after his fellow contestants said he was safe, Julio Gomez isn’t holding any grudges. On a conference call after his elimination, the mortgage officer from Algonquin, IL. talked about his experience on the show and his feelings regarding the other contestants…
He said that he doesn’t feel betrayed by the way things went down. “There’s no way I can be angry with them. I knew going into that vote that that was going to be one of the harder decisions they were going to make for that season… To this day I have no regrets; I have no remorse and I have not animosity towards anybody who voted to send me home,” he said.
In regards to why he only lost four pounds at the last weigh-in, Julio isn’t exactly sure. He said that he could have been retaining water, or perhaps it was the twist where the contestants were forced to order take-out when The Biggest Loser kitchen shut down for a week. He goes on to say that he didn’t agree with the twist, but understands that at some point they need to learn how to make smart decisions on their own.
Julio continued to say that the knowledge he learned about healthy eating alone was worth the effort. He said that he never realized how much of a hold food had on his life until Jillian Michaels forced him to see it. “She just kept digging and digging. And, you know, it really hit home for me. That was a great, great moment for me…She really got me past that hump and I have to thank her heartfully for even getting to that point with me; it’s helped me tremendously.”
Now that he is back at home, Julio said that his entire family has adopted healthier lifestyle habits. He has lost an additional 20 lbs. since the update and will continue to strive toward his goals. “My wife goes with me to the gym now. My youngest is still a little too young to go. My oldest has actually done really well on her own, just really trimmed down while I was gone even. And she has become a lot more active as well. So, yeah, the whole thing has become a real family thing, which it has to,” he added.
