Prepare To Fail

“What?!  Prepare to fail?!  I just got started and I need to prepare to fail?!!!  What are you talking about?!”

Yep.  You need to prepare to fail.  Because fail you will.  Really now.  Is there anyone you know that has started a diet and not failed at some point or other?  So you might as well prepare yourself for failure.

So what can you do to prepare yourself for failure?  First, remember that you have to start a diet again every day.  Actually, you restart your diet after each time you eat.  That means that just because you mess up, you still have to start over, so you might as well try again!

Remember that failing is not the end.  Giving up is the end.  But you haven’t actually failed at losing weight until you give up.  Until then, keep at it.  Keep trying.  Keep starting over!  It’s worth it, for you and your health.

If you get a chance, check out weighins.com. It’s a supportive close-knit community for people wanting to lose weight. With a free membership you can join a weight loss challenge (like the Biggest Loser tv show). You also get a free calorie counter and a personal diet journal. I like it much better than sparkpeople.
