From "Minute Motivators for Dieters," by Stan Toler

Focus on the positive.

"The optimist has no brakes; the pessimist has no motor."
~Melvin M. Maxwell

Discouragement

Losing weight is a struggle. Maintaining good dietary habits doesn't come naturally to most people. You can expect to become discouraged from time to time. Don't stay there. Don't look at where you are. Look at where you're going.

A little girl fell out of her bed with a thud. Her mother went running into her room, "What in the world happened? I heard you all the way downstairs."

Dusting herself off and straightening her pajamas, the little girl responded, "Well, Mother, I guess I was moving around in my bed, and I just got too close to where I got in!"

Don't be dominated by a setback. There will be times when you lose a battle or skirmish here and there. But that doesn't mean you've lost the war. Dieting should always be in the future tense, not the past tense. Dwell on where you are going, not on where you are or where you have been. The direction in which you choose to look will determine the course of your progress.
