I LOVE this post! I have been trying to improve my eating habits since the middle of October, with very good results. My partner, who is diabetic, is slowly decided she wants to try too. I sent her this post, because I think it will be very inspiring to her–she is one of those all or nothing types.
I have added myself to your email list. I can’t wait to read more.
Keeping spreading the good word!

This post speaks right to me. I did celebrate my failure on Friday. When I went to a meeting on Friday we were asked to celebrate out successes. And I spoke right up…..I gained 3.6 lbs this past week!
Thank you for all is forgiven…move on! Without it I would never have shared a failure.

This is so RIGHT!I am not a failure -true I have faliled in the past but that was then and this is NOW!Thank you.I needed that!

The most important news i ‘ve ever heard from you is” All is forgiven”
i needed that kind of reverse psychological tactics,somehow it is taking effect on me!I wanna see myself approaching in my health
concern goal.Thank you for your continued wellfare support,I appreciate it!

Thanks for the motivation! “Failure” is such a hard word to comprehend! Thank you for the interesting read.

Thanks for the reassurance. Fully agree!

Failing is part of your life journey. Only those fail who are trying to achieve something greater. If you never try to loose your weight by starting a diet, changing your habits, you will never fail, but most likely you’ll be a fat unhealthy person. Every time you fail, stop and notice what behavior caused your failure. Next time when you’re in the same situation remind yourself that you been there once, and learned your lesson. Every time you fail, stand up and do it again.

Janice, you hit the nail on the head – again. I have been so afraid of failing for so long that I decided to fail “in style.” I’ve found so many interesting ways to say, “See, I’m not a victim! I actually CHOSE this!” that I have no idea when it all began and I have no recollection of exactly when I let myself go so deep into this void.
But, that’s not so important to me now. I’m trying to focus on the future. I’ve been allowing myself to FEEL everything, to absorb all the bad feelings and instead of “eating it down” and beating it back, I’ve been trying to give it to God. It’s tough, but it’s working. The desire to overindulge has gone for the moment. I know I’m going to be tested – we’re all tested, but I’m hoping this time I’ll either pass the test or accept that I failed one one occasion, forgive myself and move on.
Thank you for your incredible persistence. I read your book over a year ago. I ignored your emails for a year, in fact they were a bit of a thorn in my side when I was really into failure. But as you are ever persistent and you never gave up, I finally decided to start listening. And that’s how real change happens, isn’t it? We give up failure.
Looking forward to your next email, post on FB, and whatever else you bring!
Love, Tammara

The article lends some great insight into many people’s mind-set and how they need to tweek it a bit. But isn’t it time to focus away from all the “weight loss” and “diet” drugs, rubs, lotions, potions, pills meal plans and programs and focus instead on proper nutrition, food combining along with a few other essentials of maintaining health weights and lives? Thanks, Dr. David Robinson

Normally,we tend or intentionally hide beneath our failures in life
by pretending you were not hurt,but manifested in such a way that
we become redundant in everything that could turn around our situation
yet the failure effect is so much to bear and made one redundant
or non responsive.I am one of those who have lost the interest in
taking each opportunity that could help me overcome my failures in life.I am not doing my best to become the person i am suppose to be,
i lost track of myself’s integrity to reach my full potential.Maybe,
because i have stopped dreaming,aspiring or even envying other people’s successes,or maybe i have lost the sense of inspiration,i
don’t know anymore the cause of why i am stranded with my personal
success.I guess,something of emotional sense have made me stagnant,that’s why i will celebrate my emotional failure instead of
weight loss failure and find ways to get over it and get healed from
failure,hopefully not too late to catch up!Let’s CELEBRATE!!!!!
Failure here,failure there failure everywhere!!!Just celebrate Janice,right!!

Emotional failure doesn’t necessarily mean you are in pain over
to someone who didn’t show appreciation and love for you.To me,
emotional failure is when many of your expectations from a relationship didn’t work out the way they were planned and because of that you became emotionally in pain and somewhat became stranded,like
groping in the dark looking for a direction and light to overcome
the disappointments.From this article,it can help me celebrate my
emotional failures and somehow do the trick that both success and
failure are worth to celebrate inorder to balance the emotional
effects of any failure,that make sense janice,CHEERS!!!
