Fear of success

Another weekend of overeating.  Not just regular run-of-the-mill overeating.  This was Championship Overeating Extravaganza 2009!  Ok, not that bad, and it really only was one massive meal where we went to this really awesome buffet for brunch…but if you also tack on all the other little bits that went along with it, it’s not so bad really.  I’m also not that upset over it.  Shizz happens…I’ll get over it.  Switched up the workout today.  Felt good.  Didn’t shower tho…hope I don’t stink up the office.  (I laid on extra deodorant just to make sure).
Anyways,  the title of my post today is fear of success, as you can plainly see.  I got an article today e-mailed to me and it talked about how we subconciously self-sabotage ourselves because we fear success.  It’s a real, documented thing.  (Why didn’t my wife mention this to me?  She’s the phych major!)  Anyways, I thought it was tremendously interesting, and really spoke volumes to me about what I’ve been doing to myself.  I won’t reprint the article that was sent to me, but I googled "fear of success" and got a great result on the first link.  l put here for you to check out…

    Indeed. This has been my issue for years. People fear failure, I fear success. I’ll kick the habit one of these days. I think fitness really plays an integral part in pushing farther and reaching goals.
