Comparism?...

In your life, no matter what happens, comparison is your worst enemy. I have mentioned already a few times that self-judgment is something to avoid. Very important in your efforts is to stay focused on your objective in weight loss, is avoiding condescending comments on yourself. The other important thing to do to keep your morale up and running is to avoid comparing yourself with someone else. Comparison is so destructive, you should avoid it at any cost. It is OK to look at others for motivation and inspiration, but we should not compare ourselves to anyone. In society, we have been raised in the school system to compare our grades, our abilities in sports, our revenue, the size of our house, our garage, our car.... This is a very destructive system.

There is always someone smaller, bigger, healthier, nicer, richer, poorer than us. There are going to be people who are going to reach their goal faster and others who will never reach them. We never have the full picture on a person, a situation, and our evaluation of our own body or of someone else is always based on perceptions of reality.

Please be contented with you own body and mind, which ever state it is in right now. Be grateful for what you have and who you are. Do not compare yourself with anyone. So many genetic, environmental, relational, psychological and physical factors are part of the sum of who you are. Even you, are not fully and consciously aware of all of the factors which interplay in your own progress and development. By doing your best everyday, avoiding judgment, avoiding prejudice and assumptions you are on the way to success. Be inspired by people who reach their goals, but do not compare yourself, period.

By being a non-judging observer, you can do so much more towards your goal to get where you want by respecting your integrity.

Find your inner strength and strive towards your goal, where ever you are today!
