“There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that which is lost by not trying.”
—Sir Francis Bacon
Have you ever found yourself bemoaning the fact that you blew your diet? After the initial disappointment (and disgust with yourself) wears off, what was your next choice?
Did you realize that one day wasn’t enough to ruin days, weeks, or months of succeeding on your diet? Did you jump right back into your diet and exercise routine and continue to move forward toward your ultimate goal? Or, did you continue to berate yourself, tell yourself that you knew you couldn’t lose the weight, give in and eat whatever you want despite the outcome?
You only really fail when you stop striving for your goal. Anything else is simply a detour. Once you really internalize that and live it, you will succeed at your diet and exercise plan and reach your weight and health goals.
I like the saying, “Fail forward.” Why? Because it signifies that you’re taking action and continually moving forward–even if you stumble once in a while.
