This blog is in support of a conversation I had with Sunny Girl today. We both have a tendency to want immediate results, hey, after all.. who doesn't like instant gratification. Part of the reason we had to begin this journey was because we gave in to instant gratification way too often. Neither of us do that anymore! But... we have to realize that that 'expectation of immediacy' can undermine our spirits, IF WE LET IT!
I am so proud of where we are, and what we have accomplished since the beginning of March. We have not only lost a significant amount of weight, but we have also changed our behavior, our attitude and our lives in the process. We have gotten this far because we have stayed focused on the end objective, living a happy, healthy life.
So... although in the short term we may feel down, may wonder when that next pound will decide to shed itself (sometimes I think the fat cells depart, kicking and screaming!!), we can feel excited in the knowledge that we CAN DO IT and are doing it! For the first time in my life I can say (when I think about it), I really don't care how long it takes, because I know, we know, we will make it to the end of this!
Great Blog!! You energize me, you say what I can't sometimes too, you're like a candle in a blackout!!
