I know a thing or two about failing - I've been a teacher for 30 years!But I'm not talking about passing or failing exams here.This episode is about the feeling of failure many of us have had in the past, about our weight especially. And I blame the diet industry for manufacturing this fear of failure!It was only when I stopped eating sugar in July 2015 that I was able to step out of this pass-fail mentality. And I created my own reality!Fear of failure is natural when we risk doing something new - that's what learning is all about. But if we let go of an all-or-nothing perfectionist approach, and accept that the learning process (and life in general!) is IMperfect... then there is no failure!"You can't fail - you can only learn". That's the message in this episode!Ready to get the guidance, support, encouragement and accountability to be able to let go of sugar in a deep and sustainable way?  Sign up to be part of the After Sugar Club here!Get some free resources here:Download my list of Top 10 books about sugar, gut health, and intermittent fasting here.Also check out the Life After Sugar Facebook page, and subscribe to my Instagram account and to the Life After Sugar YouTube channel.Plus check out my sponsor, Medicine with Heart, which is an international functional medicine clinic specializing in difficult chronic cases of hormone imbalance, Lyme disease, mold illness and digestive dysfunction.
