Tortoise and the Hare
I went in yesterday for fill and I was thinking about my weightloss journey on the way home and how it really fits in with the story of the tortoise and the hare. When I got on the scale at the center it showed that I am down 14lbs from surgery (9-2-08) and that is good but my mind is the hare.. wanting to go faster with the weightloss even finding myself saying.. "My friend had it and is down 25lbs now" Then at that moment I realized that my weightloss is the tortoise doing what it is suppose to do going slow and steady losing the 1-2lbs aweek taking the road it needs to reach the finish line... It just takes time. It is hard at times when you have the hare talking to you wanting to lose faster wanting to get into that next size of pants wanting to see that 25lbs gone! I think this is a struggle every person has trying to lose weight even if they don't have the band. So the next time I get on the scale and the numbers aren't as fast as the hare thinks they should be.... I'll just remind myself I have the tortoise that will carry me to the finish line.
