After accomplishing a task, you’ve felt that feeling of satisfaction, right? Your face has a permanent smile and you can’t help but jump up for joy? It’s a great feeling! It can be the simplest thing like finishing an art project or it might be something a little more rewarding like losing weight.
The beginning process though to get to the end result might be rough. Something that seems easy is usually not, but the best thing to do is to not get your hopes up. If it doesn’t go the way you planned, you end up in a big disappointment and it can ruin your whole mood and your day. If you don’t expect success on the first try, it won’t be a big deal.
So, what am I trying to say? You’re supposed to have a negative outlook right from the beginning? No. That’s definitely not the answer. Negative thinking doesn’t do anyone any good.
For instance, losing a few pounds is difficult. People try so hard to eat well, count calories, exercise, and they have it in their mind that they had to have lost at least a pound or two for the next weigh-in. But, if they get on the scale and it doesn’t show the results they were expecting, they are suddenly frowning and moping around.
Do not have it in your head that there should be a weight loss for that next weigh in. Whatever happens; happens. There are other factors that could have caused you to stay at the same weight or caused the weight gain. Do not be so tough on yourself; be proud that you were able to maintain a week of counting, no fast food, and a steady pace of exercising!
Failing to achieve a task does not make you a failure. To be a failure, you would have to quit at something instead of trying to complete it. The saying, “I cannot do it,” is not appropriate if you quit. You didn’t carry it out fully. Always go through the whole process! At least you’d be able to say, “I tried.”
