Site Map 1 | Site Map 2 | Site Map 3 | Site Map 4 Why Diets FailDon't you just hate the word 'fail'? No one likes to be a failure, particularly when dieting. When I was younger, my mother shared a story with me about her cousins. Long ago, kids brought home the following grades: A, B, C, D, F - with all the pluses and minuses added, too. The D's and F's were always written in with a red pen so that the parents would immediately spot the bad mark. My mom's cousins were a rowdy lot of boys - always in one jam, and then another. And whenever they got in trouble, they would always make light of it. A good example was when one of the boys brought home his report card and told his mom, "Just look at all those pretty little red d's." Of course, these boys never failed because their teacher didn't want to take any chances in having the boys revisit her class come the following fall.
This story illustrates that some people can take the worst of circumstances and add on a positive spin. And that's how we should look at dieting, when our diet plan isn't going so well. Diets fail for all types of reasons - from a bland diet plan to just being flat tired of dieting. Dieting is stressful. Take a moment and think about having to watch everything that you eat for the next week. Now, think about eating anything that you want for the next week. I'll bet you felt like you were going on vacation, didn't you! Given this example, our goal is to make our diet plan as easy as we can - to make it enjoyable, to fill it up with small goals along the way as we work towards reaching our overall weight loss goal. click to continue OR Navigate by Section Topic Below What Do You Hate the Most About Dieting?
