Daily Inspiration - Be patient in your efforts

Be patient in your efforts. 

 

Most people long for a quick fix to their eating problems. They don't want to have to work at it or wait for the much-delayed reward.  

But, patience is what it takes--countless hours of trying various tools and finding out which ones work best. Then, you have to put in more hours practicing new behaviors. Shaping a new life that really works requires painstaking effort. 

Action for the day: Pay attention to your attitude about your WLS lifestyle today. Are you impatient or rebellious? Practice patience today. Trust the process.

Girl thi****s home with me. I would say that I am impatient a lot. I want things  now not later.

Yep...hit home for me too.  I am very impatient when it comes to things that I cannot control - like my weight.  I can control the elements that make be gain or lose, but cannot control the actual number on the scale.

Patience is NOT a virtue that I have...but I am trying to get better at it.  Great post.  I needed the reminder.

Love you,
Tam
