I've been in the failure mindset most of my life. I struggled to think that I deserved anything more than I already had in life. I struggled to think I deserved more than my parents had.
When I was overweight I was depressed and felt ashamed of the way I looked. I decided that I was going to lose weight. I tried to diet and tried to exercise, and the weight just seemed to be resistant to anything I tried. It seemed like I was failing at losing weight and why try. So, I would go back to the same lifestyle.
