I've had an adage that I remind myself of occasionally: "It's OK to struggle, as long as you do struggle." This can apply to losing weight, balancing work/life, making time to read, etc. I think it's a good balance between "It's not OK to struggle, and you need to be perfect every time." and "It's not OK to struggle (ever), and you just need to accept that you can't do it.". This article (and others I've seen like it) seems to fully embrace the very bottom end of that scale.
