I've always thought that challenging myself, and competing against others was the best way to get motivated in my journey. Turns out that was the exact opposite of what I should have been doing. I spend so much time worrying about it and thinking about it that I forget to do anything about it. All that stress just adds up to emotional eating, and everything backfires. There's also a little voice in my head that tells me how great it would be to see a certain other person win. That they want it more or need it more or deserve it more. And being the giving personality I am, I think I'm subconciously sabotaging myself to give them a better chance. I know, silly huh, but there you have it.
So, no more weight loss competitions for me. Just healthy choices and let the weight handle itself.

All competitions are not for you--especially this one if you look like the photo in your header. You wouldn't enter a hot dog eating contest, would you?
Better to support the person who needs to be the big loser.
But if you're interested in knowing more about emotional eating I invite you to read my blog at

I wish that was a picture of me, it came with the blog design. It's more of a goal to shoot for. One of these days I'll have a picture of me I like enough to feature at the top of my blog. :)
