Worst analogy

Weight loss journey is like a maze. You think you are going forward you may be completely going backward. You think the end is near, but you are so far off its not funny. 

What matters is that everyone eventually exits the maze. Whether you give up and exit the same way you came or you bluster your way to the end, you are not stuck in the maze forever. 
So the only thing to do is to have faith that you will exit.
