Try again, no matter how many times you’ve failed in the past. No matter how little reason you think you have to believe in yourself. No matter how scared you are of getting hurt again by defeat.

I’ve been trying my whole adult life to achieve a healthy weight, and it never worked. Then, in March of ‘22, at the age of 42, it suddenly did. There was no golden ray from the heavens, there was no epiphany, there was no reason to believe this time would be different. It was just another attempt, indistinguishable from all the others apart from the fact that it worked. I lost 110 pounds in the first six months.
