One of my RMS certified lifestyle warriors, Dave Kurtz asked why some people with unhealthy lifestyles and food choices question him about his lifestyle and food choices when he makes no comments or criticisms of theirs, and while he himself has achieved amazing results including elimination of cardiac arrhythmia, prediabetes, blood pressure and 100 pounds in weight. This is a very common phenomena, not limited to better choices in food & activity, that many of you have probably experienced so here was my casual, but sincere, reply as to Daves question why??! To Dave from Dr T: Its an insecurity based emotional defense mechanism that Sigmund Freud called projection. Basically, someone feels anxious about their own bad habits when they see someone doing something that they feel they should be doing subconsciously but do not have the strength to do so. So they then therefore project their anxiety upon you (in a feeble attempt to try to mitigate their internal anxiety) by criticizing your behavior. Next time someone does that, you could say: you might want to see a counselor for anxiety mgt...just tell them your an anxiety projector and maybe that will clam em up. Thats what I do in the doctors cafe / lounge. Yup Dave, you are FAR from alone – do not worry, stand strong! STRENGTH & HONOR! You ARE a certified RMS (#RealityMeetsScience) LIFESTYLE WARRIOR! It comes with the battle territory Show Dave some support here! And Ill try to post a link directly to Facebook post in the comments section below. THANKS!
