Hi Everyone!
“There are two cardinal sins from which all others spring:
impatience and laziness.” ~~Frankz Kafka
It turns out that I completely agree with Kafka. To be successful
with anything, we cannot be impatient and we definitely cannot be lazy. Combine
impatience with laziness and any house of cards that we have built will come
crashing down around us! It’s been nearly 13 months since I began losing
weight. It seems like it took forever to lose the weight, but I can tell you it
took me a lot longer than 13 months to have gained that 88 pounds in the first
place!
Many times, I hear people ask why it takes so long to see
results when exercising and eating right, but think about that, I lost 88
pounds in 12 months (I’ve been maintaining for a while now), so that means I
lost 7.3 pounds per month. That means I lost approximately 1.83 pounds a week
or a quarter of a pound a day. When you look at it in that manner, does it
really seem like an insurmountable problem?
So, make sure you look at the big picture, but never forget
to break that big picture down and refocus just a bit on the smaller, more
significant goals that make each day a new journey!
Impatience and laziness will make goals seem just out of our
reach. So, buck up, plan for the long term and get out of that seat to realize
those goals!
