Patience can be hard for many of us & especially in weight loss. As the cartoon says, we live in a world where we want it NOW! We have reality shows galore where people can win & become instantly famous no matter how much or little time they have put into it. And let's face it, people on these reality show become famous for doing nothing as well - making big bucks for acting like idiots.
BUT, back to weight loss & getting healthy - yes, it is HARD WORK and yes, it moves slower than YOU want it to..... BUT if your life is worth having, if your life is worth living, if it means more to you to be healthier, happier & your family healthier and happier...
Than YES IT IS WORTH IT AND THE FRUIT IS SWEET! Make yourself as important if not more important than the "too much food or wrong types of food". Make time in the day for you!
Don't forget that consistency goes along with that patience!
Success is in the sum of small efforts repeated day in & day out – Robert Collier

I've learned to have patience through my weight loss journey. I really want to run "better and farther" NOW, so here I am back telling myself to take my time and have patience again.

My child is teaching me patience.
and not with her---but by reminding me to slow down and be patient when I want to veer off into FRUSTRATED.
who taught her? I have no clue.

Miz, I bet you taught her without ever knowing!!!

Well said! I have to admit I definitely have moments of impatience... but it pays off to keep chugging through for sure. My impatient moments are usually when my body is not responding to what I know it should or when I plateau

Joob, I hear you on that, especially with the hormone stuff & what it does to the bod!!!

I am sooo not a patient person by nature. In anything, probably. Hey - this showed up on my google reader today

Yahoo for the post showing up! I would not hold my breath though...

I started out as a real Type-A personality...a zealous over-achiever who had zero patience. Then I married my husband, a dyslexic (not funny haha dyslexic but a real one who sees words backwards and cannot spell, etc.). It was a whole new experience for me -- learning to slow down to a crawl for him. He's very bright, and once he's mastered something, he's faster at it than me, but his brain truly functions differently. His handicap has helped me grow.

I've learned patience because I know that small changes are easier to maintain over the long-term and I want my weight loss to last!
Reply to this
Stephanie, thx for commenting! YES, long term success comes with changes along the way...

I have a lot of patience problems. It actually doesn't not appear that way outwardly, but inside I feel it.

Lori I have trouble in traffic & in lines with my patience!

I really love your message about being consistent and patient. I have often had trouble with these two things in the past. I feel like I want to be skinny RIGHT NOW! Then of course when I wake up the same weight as the day before, I tend to feel disappointed in myself. Not anymore!!! Being fit is a lifetime journey, not an end point!

Carla, we all know that weight loss & getting fit takes time.. it is our mind that gets in the way!
Reply to this
I want to be patient now too!!!
Patience is certainly not one of my virtues, but God has been working on this with me.
