Only giving up makes a failure permanent. Sometimes losing weight is cool, and sometimes it sucks. I read a few comments today about people weighing in and having gained weight instead of losing it. Well, can't put it anyway else. It sucks. You feel like you've failed. Big time. Because at this point, even keeping your weight stable would have been better. And then you see all the other weigh in's in the DietBet community: this and that have weighed in and lost weight. She has lost 1 kg, the average is 0,5 kg.

Pretty discouraging.

So, it's good to know that losing one battle does not make you lose the war. Failure is just temporary, just hitch up a smile, go for a walk or do a blogiates-workout with a tenacity that's almost scary. YOU are wonderful, you are strong, you are beautiful and smart and you will not quit because of one setback. Life hands out more smiles than tears. And if nothing else helps. Watch this video, I watched it probably 20 times and it still makes me smile.
