"Studies suggest it takes almost obsessive behaviour to be a successful loser. "


I've been thinking so much about this lately. Is being obsessive about everything good. I keep hoping eventually it will be come second nature and I won't have to think so much about it. Some how I associate the obsessive behavior as negative that it is putting even more undo stress on my psycholigical well being. Seems like such a viscious circle which I feel like is a bad thing but sounds like that's the way it has to be???

What I'm Reading!

I totally agree. And then I feel resentful that I should have to track what I eat, and I overdo it. Kind of "I'll show them" thing. Brilliant. My hips are loving that train of thought. LOL


But in all honesty we've gotten into such bad habits that I think we will need to be a little more obsessive about what we eat to get into those good habits.


Siiggghhhhh.
