Patience

Patience I must say, is not one of my virtues. I am an instant gratification kind of gal. I am working on dealing with this aspect of my personality but paying off debt and losing weight are really pushing my patience limits. They are both things that take time. It took me 10 years to get this far into debt and it took 2 years to gain this weight, I shouldn't be expecting overnight results, but once I get into the zone of losing weight I push myself to such an extent that I get it done fast, which clearly is not the healthy way to go since I inevitably give up and gain the weight back. I truly want this time to be different. I am not doing any deprivation style eating or working out for hours on end. I am eating reasonably and working out 3-4 times a week. Nothing crazy or extreme and I am still losing weight.. so I just need to work on the patience element of this crazy puzzle. Tonight is my weigh in. I peeked at the scales this week.. I shouldn't do this because it totally messes with my head. I saw a number on Sunday that I loved! Then I saw it again this morning?!?! How can 4 days have no effect on the scale? Very confusing to my impatient brain! I will report back tomorrow with the results. No news on the debt front, things are status quo.
