Weight Loss Tip #4 – Fear of Failure

Most individuals have lost and gained weight multiple times.  So, it makes sense that you would be tentative about trying to lose weight yet another time; it could mean another failure.  Unfortunately, this worry of regaining weight can actually contribute to the problem as ruminating about about past failures and the associated negative feelings can actually cause you to subconsciously sabotage your progress.  You can work some positive karma by looking at things that don’t work as strategies that don’t work well for you and move on to something else that does.  Once you identify the strategies that work you can expand on those and continue your progress.  Fail quickly and move on to weight loss success!
