However I always loved 'The Biggest Loser' as inspriational.

He'll have a good week or two and I'll have a bad one, then vica versa, even though it's the same food. It's also very frustrating to see him lose and me not.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647097716101085543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127204702177748392.post-7733140705726830362012-07-07T06:58:13.582-04:002012-07-07T06:58:13.582-04:00Well said Nancy!!!!Well said Nancy!!!!Toni @ Runninglovinglivinghttp://www.runninglovingliving.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127204702177748392.post-17738221810713270302012-07-06T22:53:58.484-04:002012-07-06T22:53:58.484-04:00Great post - and it's all about our perspectiv...Great post - and it's all about our perspective that determines if competition and comparing is healthy.Charissahttp://www.colourfulpalate.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127204702177748392.post-81007144238865237892012-07-06T19:55:39.919-04:002012-07-06T19:55:39.919-04:00Yes!

I started out thinking I needed to do this or that....but I quickly realized this was about me, my journey, my weight loss, my fitness--and no one else's body is exactly like mine. So i needed to focus on myself, what I wanted for me, and what my body was capable of. <br /><br />Love it.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15639628322182522395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127204702177748392.post-26502750131677102772012-07-06T13:23:49.865-04:002012-07-06T13:23:49.865-04:00Well said :)Well said :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956724450988998624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127204702177748392.post-62628604323442701732012-07-06T12:18:25.600-04:002012-07-06T12:18:25.600-04:00So true!

I take it one day at a time. I have good days and bad days but I stay focused and true to my goals. I don't typically comapre myself to others, but I think people seem to do that to me. For example, so and so is able to *insert diet/work-out method*, you should try that! I just want to scream, "Leave me alone! I like my body! I like me! Sorry if that makes you uncomfortable!"<br /><br />Visiting from Fitness Friday. So glad I did!
