advertisement why failing to lose weight is a good thing IN A SERIES OF studies at Columbia University, it was found that people who successfully lose weight and keep it off have tried and failed a number of times before they finally succeeded. When you change the way you eat or exercise, old habits tend to kick in and ruin your progress. To be successful, you first need to learn how to keep the changes and maintain them over time. Each attempt, even though it "failed," teaches you what you need to do to be successful in the future. In fact, the studies also showed that the more times you try to lose weight, the more likely the change will be permanent. So don't give up on yourself if you've tried and failed. Your very next attempt may be the one that succeeds.
