You
see those other life events as the ends. Dieting is never an end...it's the
means to the end...so it's entirely different. You allow yourself to give up on
"this" diet knowing there's always going to be another one around the
corner. The end is...well...whatever it is for you: looking and feeling lean
and sexy; getting the job you've been longing for; regaining your pride and
self-confidence; wearing a bathing suit or swim trunks without embarrassment;
playing with your kids without getting winded; impressing your friends at your
high school reunion; long-term health...you name it. Besides, if you quit or
fail at dieting, you can (and do) always blame the diet. "Oh, that diet
doesn't work or didn't work for me." But you can't blame the car if you
keep failing your driver's test. You've never learned how to diet correctly -
using all of the natural strengths you have that can help you diet
successfully. You were
p in the process of achieving your goals. Failure teaches you and toughens you. But since dieting is never your goal or end game - it's only the means to the end - you are actually never deeply motivated to diet. You probably confuse dieting with your real goal - that sexy body, for example - but at some level you know it's not. So it's easier to give up the diet than other things in life and yet, when you do quit another diet, you still suffer and feel the pain of failure without getting the valuable learning
