This past weekend I got to catch up with a friend (Jack) whom I
hadn’t seen in several months. Like most people Jack hadn’t really
changed in appearance since the last time we saw each other (around
the 1st of the year). Jack and I talked for a while about stuff
(Mario Kart for the Nintendo Wii, the increasing price of corn, how
summer TV is really bad, you know the usual) then as many of my
conversations seem to go Jack started asking me about nutrition and
fat loss.

Basically Jack was pretty frustrated. He said that he had been
dieting for “as long as I can remember” but somehow he still had
15lbs to lose. Some further interrogation (okay I wasn’t
interrogating my friend) Jack ‘fessed up that while he was a
lifetime dieter his compliance to his fat loss diet was pretty bad.

This resulted in something that I find with a lot of people.
Because Jack was supposed to be “dieting” he would never feel like
he could enjoy non-clean foods or foods in normal/larger
quantities, so he’d feel guilty when he ate them, get discouraged,
fall off the wagon, wait until Monday, and start dieting again.

This cycle would repeat week after week, month after month. The end
result was Jack wasn’t losing the weight he wanted and he was burnt
out and discouraged because he felt like he had been dieting
forever and not getting anywhere.

Have you found yourself in this situation?
