You Told Us ... if you dare to compare

It's part of our human nature to compare ourselves to others. But in a world where money is king and the perfect body can be bought for the right price, it can be damaging to judge ourselves by other people's standards. Last week, we asked you if you were in the habit if comparing yourself to others ... and you spoke up. The results were pretty clear:

• 63% of you compare yourself to others all the time -- you can't help it.
  
• 31% of you only do it sometimes.
  
• 5% of you never do.
  
  

Wow -- it''s very clear that we can't help making comparisons often. Comparing yourself to others isn't necessarily a bad thing -- just make sure you have realistic expectations of your own self and body.
