Go ahead and Quit!
"Winners never quit and quitters never win."
Like "think positively" this statement is a scam. Don't believe it, don't make it your motto. You will save yourself a lot of heartache, time, effort and even money by quitting the cumbersome pursuit, the wrong person, the forced relationship, the impractical dream.
We sometimes think of our energy and time as an infinite resource, a well that never dries. WRONG!!!!
Once we realize this, we will value our personal resources dearly and will dedicate them to meaningful purposes. If getting that perfect body is an unmanageable goal and brings you so much guilt and shame, it is time to quit. Don't quit on your health, instead quit on the unreasonable goal that doesn't fit your priorities and lifestyle. Redefine your goal; maybe you can't be size 2, but you need to work out to keep endorphin circulating in your system, to keep pain away and your blood sugar steady.
Escalation of commitment is what keeps gamblers in the game longer. People stay in broken relationships because "they don't want to give up on love" or something of such nature. Fear of unknown is another reason.
We human beings are very complex psychological beings and usually there is more than one reason for our actions. There are no quick fixes or shortcuts, no easy way out or simple way to the top. There is no need to be discouraged though since we are wired to struggle and grow. The key is to invest in the pursuit of meaningful goals. And if you arrive at a dead end, don't sit there. Make a U-Turn and take a better route.
I have learned that quitting is very liberating, allowing you to re-invent yourself and see different colors of life. So make sure that you don't put on blindfolds of traditional myths and rules and deny yourself richness of the world by trying to open a door that has been sealed shut. Quitting is not a bad idea. When you quit, you are saying "This phenomenon no longer deserves my energy and time and I respect myself enough to walk away now."
Once you find your true passion and purpose, you will know it in your heart and mind. Investing in your true passion will be rewarding and productive. So save your patience and persistence for the right reason.
