We all fall

I cannot tell you how many times I've tried a new diet or WL routine only to look back a month or 2 later and be back where I started.

Frustrated, angry with myself, and discouraged.

It happens to everyone.

I read a quote today that really doesn't have anything to do with weight loss, but yet really spoke so me as if that's exactally what it referred to:

Whenever you fall, pick something up. ~Oswald Avery

You know, failing a diet isn't eally FAILING if you've learned something about yourself...for example what one of your weaknesses are or that certain tactics don't work for you.  Through all of my failures, I've learned that in order to complete a diet or routine I need support, because without them I will quit my efforts.  I've learned that when I allow myself to get really hungry, I tend to over-eat at the next meal, and I've had to admit to myself that I am a "closet" eater.  I "appear" to others to be sticking to a diet and then cheat when no one's home.  I sneak usually salty snacks that pack a crunch, and therefore force myself to either NOT buy them when I am dieting or not allow myself to be in the house alone. 

The more times you fall...the more things you'll pick up about WHY you fail, and therefore, haven't FAILED at all.

Remember:  It isn't how many time you fall that matters, it's if you choose to get back up.


Have a blessed and motivated weekend!
