Don't Be Afraid to Post Failures

It wasn't a scolding......it was plain ol' givin you **** your not afraid to put it out there and your not afraid when it bounces back.... I kinda get the reasons for some of your madness because you are clearly coming out ahead.....

Not gonna lie..... it's been hard to read some of your posts, but in the big picture I'm starting to understand your approach which is the scary part.......

Being a stubborn hard head (like me) will get there because you are smart enough to know when your going down a wrong road and will change it up.

You are the GodFather of VSG, may I kiss your ring Don Frisco?

Call it what you will, it kept me pointed in the right direction. THANK YOU!

I think that posts about failure are the most helpful to me.  Maybe it is because I don't want that particular failure for myself.  I have had my share of failure and I am an expert at it.  I also realize that I don't learn unless I screw up.  I must learn the hard way.  I need proof that chocolate cake and fetucchini alfredo is going to keep me fat!!!

I also don't let failure defeat me.  I am kind to myself.  I don't like feeling miserable for any length of time so I pick myself up and make myself behave, until the next time.   I just know that this is my cycle of doing things and as long as I am moving in the right direction, I consider this a success.

I have to work with what I have.  I am not going to all of a sudden become another person who doesn't have issues with food.  I accept it and I do the best that I can at any given moment.  I have to balance my strengths with my weaknesses.  Little by little, I come to like my strength better than my weakness.  It's a climb.  I wish I could click my heals and be there, but being very pragmatic, I know that isn't going to happen.

I find that shame and guilt are the most useless feelings.
