Obsessing over Obsession

Can Obsession be a good thing?

Part of me feels as though tracking every step, activity, calorie in, calorie burned is a little obsessive, but part of me likes it. It's the same part of me that loved going to the gym in my teens, twenties and most of my 4th decade.

As I mentioned in my blog yesterday there was a time that all I thought about was what I was doing to be fit and that made me happy. Why does part of me feel as though it isn’t a good thing?

I think it’s because other people start to tell you that you are obsessive and that time and time again, like a slow dripping faucet, it wears on you, that perhaps you are obsessive.

Why do I care what they think?

Maybe this is what keep derailing my efforts and I find myself both in an unhappy place and about 20 pounds heavier than I want to be.

I know deep in me, that what feels good to me makes me happy and whether or not someone else approves of the way I am doing things really should not matter. As long as I am not breaking any laws, written or unwritten, it’s ok to be me!

Health and Happiness!
