Dedication or obsession?
I feel i need to express myself for a change and ask the question on dedication or obsession.
After those first days weeks and months of training where its hard to build a basic physic and you start to grow and enjoy your gym sessions the whole thing,you start to get the questions about dont you think you have done enough and dont you think your becoming obsessed!
Hemmm you think about and decide well maybe but hang on im dedicated to my cause why should i not be changing my life eating right enjoying my training etc.Seems that changing from someone stuck in a rut just lounging around eating everything not being motivated does have other implications when you go for the fitness for life attitude.
I need this, i need to be fit and want to grow like others.Have the mental skill to ride out the storm of physical vrs mental challenges equals results.
Does anyone else feel pressure now from changing there lives around?
Do any of you see that dedication is the answer and not obsession?
Maybe you think one leads to the other?
Maybe they are so closely linked its hard to do one without the other!
Enough of my rambling and enjoy your life changes to the full,
Michael.

Dont know all the answers….but awesome blog, and awesome determination!
I think it turns from obsession to dedication when it stands the test of time. It’s "easy" to get "dedicated" to eating right and workin out short term…it’s when you’re going over and over, and continuing to improve and maintain over weeks, months, years….it’s no longer an obsession, it’s a lifestyle.
and this was a note from a friend on here the other day…"obsessed is what the lazy call the dedicated".
stay with it! great job!
