After a long stretch of staying on a diet or exercising regularly, we sometimes just stop. For whatever reason, we aren't inspired or just can't get the momentum going again.

This is what's known as a "setback." We all go through them, and it's easy to let them pull us down for a while.

Sometimes a difficult loss, such as the death of a parent or injury will cause you to go through a setback. But other times, you can struggle because of simple things such as tripping over your kids' toys. Whether you are dealing with grief or a sprained ankle, a setback can make you lose your motivation and cause you to temporarily give up on your weight-loss program.
