Stumbling Blocks - Not Losing Fast Enough

If there were a picture of one person in the dictionary to represent the word impatient, it would be mine.  I know, I know... you think you're more impatient than me.  No lie, it is NOT possible.  I get ANGRY and SAD and DEPRESSED when things don't happen fast enough for me.  It's a constant and daily struggle.  The only reason I make it through is by distraction.  Drives me crazy though.

This has been especially true during my weight loss journey.  It didn't matter how much I lost during the week, it was never good enough.  I was hard on myself, disappointed, and even got depressed over low loss weeks.  And forget it if I gained weight one week.  Stay out of my way on those weeks or risk losing your head.

Patience is key to peace and happiness.  The scale is still going down and I'm currently at a weight I've NEVER been my entire adult life.  At least not that I can remember.  I have learned to take comfort in that.

If I could snap my fingers and find myself at my goal, I'd be the happiest girl in the world.  But I'd probably also not keep it off.  Anything worth having is going to take hard work.  I'll appreciate it a lot more when I get there if I've had to work hard for it.

Not what you wanted to hear?  Me either... LOL!  But it's the truth.  And the truth sucks sometimes.
