Why Do I Always Fail When Dieting?

Sometimes, nothing in our life seems to go right. Bills are standing at the gate, the kids are all sick and the animals all have fleas.  

Simply because we're human, our lives are filled with imperfection - at best!  Enter in 'the facts and unpredictable laws of nature' and everything tends to go south.

Failing at something in life can actually be a good thing.

Good thing, you say? Oh yes - a good thing. Maybe we fail for a reason; maybe that reason is so that we can help a friend or loved one later in life who is dealing with the same, or similar, problem. If you've experienced an event, your knowledge and support can mean a great deal to someone else suffering a similar experience.

DIET TIP:

As for Diet Failure, try to think of your daily diet as having a new recipe in your Box of Life each and every day. Whenever you test a new recipe, sometimes it turns out to be a masterpiece; sometimes it's a huge flop.  And sometimes, those huge flops taste even better than the masterpieces!

So whether you feel like your diet is a flop, or a masterpiece, don't give up hope. Keep moving forward with your weight loss plan until you reach the spot on your weight loss scales where you want to be.

Never, ever, never give up hope!

Weight Loss Motivators

While trying to lose weight, make a short list of things that you will use as rewards once you reach a certain weight loss amount, or a certain date.  Just like God rewards us, we should also reward ourselves because giving doesn't always mean sacrifice.

• A new outfit in a smaller size.
• Enjoy a celebration dinner with a loved one.
• A day at a spa just for pampering.
