I have attempted to lose weight a half dozen times or more over my adult life. And it would end up where I would lose some weight - maybe 50 pounds at the most before I fell off the wagon and then slowly gain the weight back.
Back in 2017 I attempted to lose 50 pounds before I turned 50 years old, only to lost about 36 pounds or so before some major stress hit and knocked me off the wagon. Over the last 7 or 8 years I have tried several times but got knocked off. And in 2024 I came to a place I did not think I would ever be able to lose very much weight. I even went through my clothes and got rid of everything that was more than 1 size down.
As I was thinking about all these failures, I realized that the biggest issue was that I had not fully committed to the lifestyle approach. I had made several trial runs, but I wasn't all in. But even though I wasn't all in God had used each and every time to teach me different lessons that I needed to learn. Those lessons helped equip me for what I needed to make the choices I made this time. To fully commit to taking care of me. Of putting my main focus on health and losing weight as a happy bonus.
Have you attempted to reach some goals and just keep failing at it? Don't give up. Use the knowledge that you glean each time to help propel you to success. Sometimes trial runs are all we need to finally have success. :O)
