If you define success at dieting at not increasing your weight, I think you have different standards than most people.
Part of a healthy diet is managing calories in such a way that you remain at a healthy weight. It may be useful to create a calorie deficit for a limited time.
I’d guess many people likely fail at keeping a disciplined diet for a long time because it is hard to keep up discipline at anything for a long time. And our culture/lifestyle isn’t terribly conducive to staying lean.

Then you are inconsitstent with what you called success above, where you call any small reduction or zero change in weight a success of dieting.
