My Dual Challenge

I am embarking on a new challenge in my life. Actually it is going to be a dual challenge. I am working on a new website and the first part of the challenge is to get that site making four figures per month in the less than a year. With a little bit of work and the right kind of keywords and backlinking that should not really be so difficult. It is the second part of the challenge that will take real effort on my part.

The site I am working on deals with the healthy industry and my challenge is to lose 40 pounds while I am working on the site and to write about my challenges, setbacks and accomplishments through the whole process. There are many people that write about the factual part of health issues, but it is rarer for someone to talk about their personal experience. I often learn a lot more from reading what someone went through personally than what a medical professional tells me will likely happen.

Living to Eat

Eating…it is something everyone has to do to survive, but far too many live to eat instead of eating to live and that includes me. I have tried about everything there is to deal with compulsive overeating and it has got to be the most difficult things in the world to manage. The thing about a food addiction is it is the one substance that a person can abuse that you cannot abstain from.

While you can abstain from certain types of food, bottom line is that you are going to have to eat and if you are going to stay healthy, you are going to have to manage what you put in your mouth. Geneen Roth has written several books on dealing with emotional eating and I think she has one of the best approaches to compulsive eating habits.

She basically says forget the concept of dieting and eat when you are hungry. Eat enough to satisfy your hunger and still feel comfortable. The bottom line is that if you are eating for any reason other than being hungry, you are eating emotionally. The truth is eating will not eliminate anything but hunger. Any other problem you may have that would cause you to eat, will still exist after you get done eating.
