<human>: Pardon my profanity, but as we're going into the weekend I just wanted to share a thought with you all that I had this morning. I read an article yesterday that talks about all of the work that goes into losing weight and keeping it off (written a few years ago, if you're curious google "The Fat Trap" it's a NYT article). I've had more than my share of slips, slide backs, and outright failures over the years. It's been a long, ugly, and sometimes painful road. There have been time's I've given up and said "fuck it" and fallen back into my old ways. 

I guess I just want to say that weight loss for me is less about gutting it out through the hunger and more about managing my behavior after I make a mistake. Mistakes will happen. You're fighting your most primitive instincts when you lose weight. You will eat too much, you'll have binges, maybe you'll wake up and two months have gone by where you were eating back your weight. What's important is getting back on track as quickly as possible.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: A big part of weight loss is managing your reaction to your own failures. Don't just say fuck it and give up. Get up, dust yourself off, and get back on track.
