How many diets have you "failed" at?
If you feel like the majority of us, a lot more than one. Maybe many more than just one.
But, it's not if you fail or how many times you fail that counts.
It's how you handle failure that matters ultimately.
The Same Coin
Failure and success are two sides of the same coin.
Consider just about everything in life. You almost never have success without failure.
You learned to walk by floundering 100's if not 1,000's of times. But you never thought a failure and were never labeled as a failure.
Mom and Dad kept encouraging you and you kept standing up and trying repeatedly until you got it right.
You learned to read by fouling your alphabet enough times to finally realize it right. By ruining writing out the letters 'till you got them right. By
juice plus distributor misspelling and misreading the words until you got them right. The mistakes were plentiful. But you were never a failure - you were just learning.
Same with riding a bike, driving a car, playing a sport, dating, for gosh sakes. Choosing a career or a mate, perhaps.
Life is a study process where failure and success are two sides of the same coin.
What's Different About Dieting?
In some ways dieting coincides and in some ways it's different from most other things.
It's the same because failure and success should go hand in hand - 2 sides of the same coin.
It's different because, let's admit it, you don't really prefer diet first. And you probably have negative thoughts and feelings about dieting.
Everyone plans to walk, read, drive a car, and have a great career and a great mate. Not anyone desires to diet
