The Only Reason That Your Last Diet Failed
There's only 1 reason that your last diet failed. What could that be? Was it a bad diet plan? No plan? Too much exercise? Boring Diet? Too few calories? No treats? No support? Too expensive? Little motivation? Holiday time? No energy? Too much stress? Sudden binge? Just wasn't working? Took too long to lose weight? Too gassy? Tired of dieting?
Nope. Wasn't any of the above. So....what could it be? Why did your last diet really fail?
Though the answer may appear quite simple, it's not! It's actually quite complex!
The Simple Answer That's REALLY Quite Complex:
The ONLY reason that your last diet failed was because you wanted to eat MORE than you wanted to lose weight.
Explaining Complexity - Extracting the Simple Truth:
Although it's not easy to accept, it's true. The ONLY reason that a diet fails is simply because a person chooses to return to their former dieting habits rather than continue on the crooked, healthier path. It's much easier following the straight and narrow where very little rules come into play.
HOWEVER, as stated above, the SIMPLE TRUTH is actually QUITE COMPLEX!! Why? Because ALL of the reasons above may have contributed in creating 'that magic moment' that.....Operation Diet Failure Moment!
Dieting is a bit like a House of Cards. Slowly, you stack one card on top of the other, carefully balancing the house. In the beginning, what you have before you doesn't look like anything more than a few cards slapped together. But slowly, the house goes up and is quite magnificent!
Sometimes, when we are building our House of Cards, we almost reach the top and we lose our coordination and yes - our house falls to the ground. What caused the fall was SIMPLY due to our last uncoordinated move.
HOWEVER, more than likely, some of our previously constructed 'walls' may not have been secure or strong enough. They may have been slightly misplaced. Therefore, the crash took a simple miscalculation, and the house was history due to not only that last unsteady move, but also because of an unsteady foundation which contained 'faults'.
So even though our Diet Failure came down to not wanting to lose weight MORE than we wanted that goody, it can also be attributed to so many other factors. It's so important to have a Diet Plan in place, and support, and variety, and to incorporate tasty foods, and healthy foods, and treats, and the right amount of exercise, and to make it interesting and fun, and affordable, and to have patience and most importantly, to know that if we seriously want to lose weight, that we have to want to lose weight MORE than we want the goody that will send our diet in a tailspin.
Therefore, work towards learning and recognizing your Diet Faults and strengthen those areas. Remember, you want this diet to be your final diet! Tough it out and end Diet Days! You can do this!!!!!
