How many times do you start over? I suppose as many times as it takes. Failure is to be expected in this place. I once heard that there is no failure except the failure to learn from our failures. Learning from failure may mean that we do not keep a bag of potato chips in the cabinet and french dip in the fridge if we want to diet. Of course this decision is best made in the grocery store.
