Have you succeeded in finding ways that definitely won't work?...............
Thomas Edison, when trying to create the light bulb, was asked, “How can you keep going after failing 10,000 times? Isn’t that ridiculous? Why don’t you just give up?”
Edison answered, “You don’t understand, I haven’t failed 10,000 times, I’ve simply succeeded in finding 10,000 ways that definitely won’t work.”
When we see others succeed we aren’t usually privy to the associated failures or personal costs that accompanied that success.
Now move towards finding the way that WILL work for you.
Losing weight & weightloss is not a competition to 'win' or hold a medal in.
A bandee bypasser or sleever knows that losing weight is hard work and takes training to make the journey.
