It is SO tempting to compare!



Recommended Posts

I just read this great article about comparing ourselves to others & how damaging it can be. As we are so immersed in weight loss, it is unbelievably tempting (and almost impossible to avoid!) to compare our progress with that of others. I try really hard to stay mindful of making comparisons, but it's definitely a hard thing to do & I'm not always very successful. I need to stick this article up somewhere so I see it often!

I try not to even click on links that look like they are inviting comparisons. October sleevers check in here! How much did you lose the first three months? Etc.

I even refuse to have a ticker or generally tell people how much I've lost since surgery. Comparisons set no one up for success IMO.
