How many diets have you "failed" at?
If you seem like most of us, a lot more than one. Maybe many a lot more than one.
But, it's not if you fail or the number of times you fail that counts.
It's how you handle failure that matters in the end.
The Same Coin
Failure and success are two sides of the same coin.
Remember about everything in life. You almost never have success without failure.
You learned to walk by dropping 100's or even 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 rising and trying repeatedly until you cottoned right.
You learned to read by fouling your alphabet enough times to finally realize right. By messing up 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 an examination 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 coincides because failure and success should work together - 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 chooses to walk, read, drive a car, and have a great career and a great mate. No person chooses to diet
