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!

Never give up. That's a good one. But sometimes I think all I think about is losing weight. Is that what God wants? I don't know....just asking.

Carol, according to weight-loss statistics, as much as 95% of people who lose weight gain it back. So it appears that is all we can think of until we have it, and we just as quickly forget how hard it was to achieve it. :)
