Most guys, just like me, are not so obsessed with losing that much weight the soonest compared to girls who are conscious all the time with what they eat to what they exercise and end up getting to stressed with the idea.Felix Leehttp://incometherapy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-34008770040298201102013-05-08T19:09:55.756-04:002013-05-08T19:09:55.756-04:00Great post!

I think one of the greatest challenges we face around feeling good about ourselves is realising that strong and healthy does equal attractive.

Either way, we fix it or we don't, but we don't achieve much by trying to yell at the lightbulb and make it feel ashamed of itself.<br /><br />Unless those smart engineers are making MUCH fancier lightbulbs these days...<br /> Crabby McSlackerhttp://www.crankyfitness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-65060459141221577892013-04-30T17:15:45.124-04:002013-04-30T17:15:45.124-04:00Love "think like a Dude" - nice to know ...Love "think like a Dude" - nice to know I've been doing something right all this time! <br /><br />I think perhaps part of the reason guys often take weight issues less personally is that the whole caveman "problem solver" mentality kicks in. Double chin? Jeans too tight? It's just another problem to be solved, like a dripping tap or a blown bulb. And like the leaky tap or the blown bulb, we may or may not actually get round to doing anything about it, but it certainly isn't going to keep us awake at night!Shadowduckhttp://en.juanelo.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-79713421904536248672013-04-30T17:02:47.101-04:002013-04-30T17:02:47.101-04:00So long as you stop before you get to Garfield, Ci...So long as you stop before you get to Garfield, Cindy!Shadowduckhttp://en.juanelo.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-15737987584362353492013-04-30T17:01:52.002-04:002013-04-30T17:01:52.002-04:00And among all the stealing I'm sure nobody wil...And among all the stealing I'm sure nobody will notice me filching the awesome "shadow-duck" picture you used on the post, Sherri.

But at times I waffle and feel insecure if I'm in an unfamiliar situation. I do love the idea of thinking like a dude. I always notice I'm most comfortable when surrounded by other people who are comfortable with themselves.

There will always be new goals and more striving, so the less we beat ourselves up for progress (or lack of same) and the more we pay attention to process and try to be happy each day, the more we're winning the Real Game.Crabby McSlackerhttp://www.crankyfitness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-62355108219331269322013-04-30T10:12:47.492-04:002013-04-30T10:12:47.492-04:00Love this approach Ann, as the only reason to meas...Love this approach Ann, as the only reason to measure is to motivate better behavior.
