Zealots zealots everywhere....I wanna hitch a ride on that train! I align myself with like-minded fitness/nutrition-minded people for 2 reasons: so I won't be around bad influences, and so I'll be around good influences.
Although I get caught up in the wave of enthusiasm and can sometimes ride it right up onto the beach, other times I feel swamped by it and feel like I'm drowning while watching everyone else succeed. I know we are not supposed to be comparing ourselves to others, but I seem to be doing it all the time without realizing I'm doing it. Sometimes the success of others is inspiring, and sometimes it's defeating. I end up feeling like a failure..."Hey they can do it, why can't I?" I know it's a waste of energy that could be better used elsewhere....
This whole relationship I have with food and exercise is a mystery to me and a huge challenge to deal with.
