Watered Down Doesn’t Work

The question isn’t, do you really want to succeed? Everyone wants that. The question is …

You’ve heard the rationale before, maybe even used it occasionally.

“I feel like this is where God is leading me.”

And maybe it’s the truth. Or perhaps you just want to stop every argument before it begins. After all, can’t argue with God unless you’re an atheist or the Devil, right?

It’s the same as crying when you’re in a fight. Everyone knows the person who cries loses the argument, but that doesn’t matter because the argument ends once the tears begin. Because again, only pricks keep being right when the waterworks begin.

The pattern continues when we’re talking about food.

So to avoid an honest assessment, to steer clear of taking real responsibility and making real change, we say things like, “counting calories is unhealthy,” “weighing and measuring our food is just another eating disorder,” and “it’s detrimental to focus on how you look.”
