I am the epitome of the "I WANT IT NOW" personality. And right now it's not happening fast enough for me.
I'm the kind of person who will go out and get something new because I don't want to wait for whatever it is to get fixed. I have even had surgeries
to get body parts repaired right away instead of waiting around to see if things would maybe clear up or instead of going through therapy. I just want it fixed and to get back out there.
So when after almost a year and losing over 90 pounds and being in the best shape in almost my whole life, I am having an issue with this stretched out skin...I'm really losing my patience. And of course I realize I've lost almost a complete person in 9 months and it takes time for things to snap back into place...but I'm just like Veruca Salt from the movie "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."
"But I WANT IT NOW, Daddy!" "I want a great body and a six pack NOW!" *pouting face* :(
"Would you like some cheese with that whine, Dan?" :P BITE ME! Uh oh, I'm starting to argue with my self. I'm starting to lose it! "Stand back, this could get ugly."
Can I help it that I don't want my stomach to look like I just had twins?!?! OMG! You are almost 50 years old. Your skin is not going look like a baby's butt, not to mention you are as hairy as a gorilla!
But I exercise twice a day and do over a 1,000 ab reps, I want to look like Matthew McConaughey, and I want it NOW!
WTH are you smoking?!?! Have you looked in the mirror lately? You are NO Matthew McConaughey! Besides that he has been working out for years and didn't weigh over 300 pounds, you moron!
How am I going to lose over 20 pounds in 8 weeks? I just can't do it. Besides I'll probably just gain it back again. I want it gone NOW! I want to weigh 195 NOW! WOW! Nice attitude to have...oh I'm sure you'll lose that much weight in eight weeks...NOT! Change the attitude, you've already lost 90. Why can't you lose a little more? You're doing everything right...you just need to be patient. LOL...that's funny, you patient...LMAO! Ok... smart ass, your not helping!
Does this sound at all familiar? Are these the types of arguments you have with yourself?
We all have self doubt, and we are all afraid of failing. And there isn't one of us who doesn't want to lose all the weight we want to and have it gone overnight. But there is NO magic pill, there is no instant weight loss diet or drug to make it all go away. If there was, we would all be on it. And for you wonderful women out there who have had children and you're upset about those stretch marks and saggy skin, just be patient and take care of it, because it will come back over time.
We all become our own version of Veruca Salt and we want to be thin NOW! We want to look good NOW, and don't want to WORK THIS DAMN HARD TO GET THERE...NOW!
But like Tom Hanks' character, Jimmy Dugan, says in "A League of Their Own"...
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great."
In other words we have to earn this, and make it our own. And when we get there it will be hard at times to stay where we are, but it's the HARD that's going to keep us focused and help us to remember what it took to get to us where we are. Never forget what it took to lose this weight, so you NEVER have to do it again!
Doesn't it SUCK when you've lost a bunch of weight and then in the blink of an eye you've gained it all back again?!?!? Then DON'T let that happen EVER AGAIN! Change your lifestyle. No more diets. Start exercising, get healthy and start maintaining your weight and LIVING YOUR LIFE...NOW!
