Week 4, Day 5 - Another Chance
If I've learned anything in my professional training this last year, it's that you cannot...simply CANNOT...succeed without failure. Einstein failed at his relativity theory time and again...but he finally got it right. Edison failed nearly 1,000 times before he created a successful lightbulb. Babies fail thousands of time when they're learning to walk. The key is that they get up and go again. They never give up!
Fighting this war with my weight is a bit like learning to walk. I have to learn the things that I can and cannot eat in order to lose...and then learn to maintain once I get to my goal. Failure IS an option (and a reality), but only as a stumbling block on the road to success. It is QUITTING that will kill me. Probably literally. So if there's one thing I absolutely cannot do, it is quit. As long as I keep trying, even if it's a half-assed effort, this long and winding road will lead to success.
