Patience

I am feeling so impatient lately, for the weight loss to happen, to know the size I will be. To see what clothes will look good on me, to understand what plastic surgery I may need. The loss is slow! And I am doing a lot of clothing window shopping because I have waited so long to be the size I want and fit into the fashionable attire. Dreamed about it.
I know my first motivation on this path was health, so I would be stronger and keep my heart happy. But golly gosh geewillikers... I figure 50 more pounds to lose. At least 6 months to lose it. At least one year for plastic surgery. And a lifetime to spend maintaining and fighting the regain.
Anyone else feel this way? I know. Patience. I tell myself every day. And every day I feel emotionally frustrated, against the logical view.

Two year anniversary upon me in 3 days: 136. Need to lose a few pounds..
I window shopped and put a time on the styles I was going to wear. I would look at a model in a tiny dress and tell my husband by next Spring I will be buying and wearing that dress.
He shook his head in disbelief, but learned that I was right.
While I was losing, I made sure that I bought and wore clothes that looked great on me through the whole process.
So window shop for the future and window shop for today.
