“This will never work” is a common statement from perpetual dieters as they enter a period where they may be struggling, even if the struggle, the stagnation is of their own doing.This is usually the person who has, literally, tried hundreds of diets without, obviously, any lasting success and who, given their vast “experience” at dieting, considers themself an expert on everything the multi-billion dollar dieting industry has to offer.Sound like you?A track record of failure is a common denominator of dieters everywhere. The vast majority have failed repeatedly. Every time they approach a new weight loss goal, they do so with failure in the backs of their minds.Decades of experience tells me that the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. So, when you approach dieting with an expectation that your current efforts will just be a miserable repeat of the past, you’ve just made a scientifically sound prediction.If you don’t have faith in your weight loss efforts, you’ll destroy them sooner or later.If you are persistent, you will get it.If you are consistent, you will keep it.
