Another Diet That Won't Work

How's this for a diet: Take in fewer calories than you
expend and you'll lose weight. I just read another article
that suggested this as the sure-fire way to lose weight. Of
course it's true, and about as useful as telling an
alcoholic he can beat his problem by not drinking. Yeah,
right.

Have you noticed that almost every diet is guaranteed to
work if you follow it? Of course, it's your fault if you
don't do what they say, right? What a bunch of nonsense. If
you can't stick to a diet, then it doesn't work - not for
you, anyhow, and what's the difference if it works for
others?

You Are Unique

Don't let someone sit there biting their nails for the
fortieth year in a row tell you it's willpower you need. Of
course it would be wonderful if you could force yourself to
do whatever you decided to do. The truth, however, is that
we each have our areas of


difficulty, and our ways of
operating. No one but you can judge just how hard you
actually are trying, or even what you need to do.

Address your specific needs. Maybe your weight problem is
something that requires psycological help. Maybe you just
need a slightly easier to follow diet, and you'll finally
lose that weight. Maybe exercise is the way for you.

You know people that eat all they want and don't gain
weight. It's so obvious that we are each physically and
mentally unique, and so often ignored when it comes to
diets. Find the unique combination of factors that work for
you, and your existing "willpower" will be more than
enough.
