M3:D49 Patience

What can work for your dating life can work in many other areas of your life.  I recently had a co-worker who's girlfriend of several years broke up with him.  Apparently he wasn't the nicest guy when they got into arguments.  He would say things that he didn't really mean, but things that were extremely hurtful.  He told me some comments that I cannot publish here for fear of children reading them.  Apparently she had finally had enough one day and told him she couldn't date him any longer.  She was still interested in having him as her friend, just not her boyfriend.  He was quite upset and was asking me for advice.  I asked him if he knew where he'd gone wrong and he said he did.  I told him to tell his ex where he had gone wrong and to ask for her forgiveness.  I then told him to be patient.  I told him to act the way he did when they first got together, but to be sincere.  I told him to have patience.  If he changed his behavior and was able to show her, she'd likely come back to him.  It took 3 months, but recently they got back together.

Patience in physique transformation is essential.  I personally do not believe that most people transform in a 12 week period.  I think it takes longer than that and requires alot of hard work and patience.  You can't expect results too fast.  You have to be happy with the small victories.  Use patience to your advantage here.  If you are patient you will not be upset when the results don't just roll in. 

Most people lack patience.  They jump from one diet program to another diet program because they feel like they are gaining fat or that they are not getting results.  They don't have the patience to stick to the plan they set for themselves.
