Healthy Reflection
Who do you compete against?
Do you hold yourself to the standards of others, wishing you could be better than the next guy? Maybe it motivates you, but an even better method is trying to be better than yourself. How about pushing yourself each day to eat better or to walk longer after dinner? Goal setting is a great way to compete against yourself. You select the end result that you want and then it's up to you--and only you--to work for those goals. You'll be pushing yourself toward greatness, not creating unnecessary competition against others who can't compare to you.

Cira, Thanks for posting this. I just had a long talk with someone this morning who is comparing herself to others. I told her she can't compare but you know I find myself doing the same crap. I need to stop and just worry about me, myself and I. I am going to try to live by this and also set goals. Then I will do my best to follow them. It is so hard. Why is that?

This is a great post.
I learned long ago not to compare myself with others. My cousin was banded the day after me and lost at an alarming faster rate than I did. Did that frustrate me? Oh hell, yeah.
But then I started to run. In my head I knew I will never be a fast runner - and I didn't care. Now when I run - I race against myself.
I love what my signature line says, "You can measure your achievements by someone else's yardstick." This is MY journey and MY story and I am not going to let anyone else ruin it!

You can't measure your achievements with someone else's yardstick!

Hi Cira
Thank-you :) Im doing great. My clothes are hanging off me which I find funny everyday. The ticker I started the weight from January when I first stared losing weight. I should be down more but cant find a scale near me and the Doctors office is alittle ways away. I hope your doing well and keep up with all the inspiration it really helps to read.

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.
