I admit it. I have a "type A" personality. It's something that I try to keep hidden and under control most of the time, but sometimes it rears it's head and comes out in full force. I have found things to "feed" my type A- things that I obsess about and throw myself into. I do not condone my behavior, and I will be the first to admit- I need serious help.
For the last month I have fed my "type A" in fitness and training. I discovered this device called the "body bugg". It's an armband you wear 24 hrs a day, and it calculates your calories burned. Then, you enter the calories consumed in your computer, upload your body bugg, and you'll know whether you have a surplus or deficit of calories for the day. I love this thing! It's my new best friend! Enter my "type A" and this things creates a life of it's own! I start getting very particular about being accurate when enter my calories consumed- which is very difficult when restaurants don't post calories.
My next "type A" fix is about to start up. I am coaching a history day team at school again this year. It was life consuming last year, and I am dreading the start of it again this year for that reason. I am going to try to keep my "type A" under control and not let it run my life this year. But.. I know my competitive side will come out; I will want them to win, and it will start to take over!
Am I the only one who is like this? Do I seriously need clinical help here?

Yes, you need help! JK!!! :) I think we all have things we can get fixated on or even consummed with at times. Even good things. Listening to God when He tells us not to let it take 1st place is the key (that's the part I'm not so good on).
Man, I need to take a spelling class!
