Diet - It's Like Jumping in a Cold Creek
Have you ever dove into cold creek on a mild and windy spring day? You think, "Rather than toe-tip into the water, I'll dive in because once there, my body will quickly adjust to the temperatures."
And it does, until parts of your body become exposed to the nifty spring winds. You may have shocked your system into adjusting to the water temperature, but once you come out, the body's defenses kick in and you know, without a doubt, that you're so cold, you'd look good standing next to Paul's ox, Blue.
Dieters think a lot along these lines. They run head long, jumping into the cold diet waters without even taking time to warm up for the swim - totally shocking the system and removing it from everything familiar.
And once the waters get a little choppy and the dieters pokes out a head, the chill hits them and they may think, "What am I doing on this diet when there's a perfectly good cheese steak standing over there? Only an idiot would choke down rice cakes and tofu to take off a few pounds. So that's it. I quit! I don't wanna diet anymore. I am throwing in the diet towel," and then they walk away, dripping along the concrete walk of Diet Failure and into the arms of Comfort and Joy - i.e. cheese steak and all other 'good things familiar'.
