scared of letting myself down

[anne]

I keep setting goals and not achieving them. I still want to make goals. I still have things I want. But I'm afraid of letting myself down again. I'm so disappointed in myself. I want to do better. Is there any way to not just set a goal but definitely stick to it?

You're not alone in that fear. I mean, it's called fear of failure on a more official sense. It's normal and oh god it sucks. I think the key is to try to tell yourself that all you can do is try. You can try your best. And if something doesn't work for you and you find yourself losing your motivation, make changes. Work on finding the strategy that works for you, instead of being hard on you if one strategy isn't the right fit. You'll learn a lot that way and hopefully stay more positive. you can do this.

Baby steps. There is always a risk you won't get to your goal, but you won't know unless you try. So try. So much to gain.

You can do this. You won't get to your goal unless you try. So try. You'll only let yourself down by avoiding it.

Don't give up. If you make a mistake, brush yourself off and get back to it. You won't let yourself down if you just keep trying. If something isn't working, adjust what you're doing instead of stopping altogether.

Did you get started? What strategy are you using? I'm curious because I get where you're coming from. Especially because I've already let myself down a few times. I've lost the weight, but it always comes back.

Don't be the one standing in your own way. You can only achieve your goals if you let yourself go for them.
