Patience was never my strong point. Especially when it comes to losing weight! I admit I am the type of person because I done the work I need to see the results now! However I am also a little rational and know that it takes time for the results but I still have that feeling I want the results now! However not only have many people told me to slow it down not just this current moment but through out time. I talked to Maia and Jackie tonite and they told me to stay patient about getting certain results. I realize my impatiene has gotten me now where so I think that I will try to stay patient. Keep a postive and good attitude, try to keep eating right, and reaching out and talking to other journey members and coaches to stay on the right path. Also when you get fast results when losing weight you gain it back quickly, the slower you lose the slower you gain it back if you go off the wrong track.However I don't plan to gain I want to keep losing so in order to keep losing I have to keep my patience. All and all I gotta learn impatience gets me nowhere but to quitting. Hard work, dedication, commitment, and patience will continue to keep me on the right path and getting results I never dreamed of.
Patience Vs. Impatience (Found this on http://www.gurusoftware.com/gurunet/)
On Patience-Patience is to embrace the right order of
time.
-Patience is to control the untoward vital attachment and eagerness
to accomplish.
-Patience is to be driven by limited time vision instead of the
perfect time vision that knows the Truth of when things should be
done.
Patience as Right Time Attitude
One of the simplest attitude towards time has to do with whether we are patient or impatient. If we willing to accept the duration of time required to accomplish a thing or for a matter to unfold, then we are of a patient disposition. That patience in essence issues from a calm vital faith that all will unfold in its right sequence and due time. Through such a poise, life will constantly cooperate with out efforts, generating the greatest results in the shortest period of time. On the other hand, when we are reactive and hurried, we create an imbalance of energies that not only retard practical positive results, but align with problematic circumstance that we experience as ill-fortune. One particular lethal form occurs if an opportunity comes our way and we are impatient. The result will be that life will quickly cancel the opening, turning our joy into regret and sorrow. Thus, anyone who is of an impatience bent is advised to change that quality immediately to avoid such detrimental outcomes in the future.

Patience
-Patience is to
accept the movements of life in its own time, not one's own.
-Patience is a
spiritual movement in which one allows the timing of events to run at its own
pace and course and not prematurely interfere.
On Patience
-Patience
puts you in the right flow of life, and in touch with the full truth of what is
unfolding. This enables right understanding, decision-making, and action; hence
success, enjoyment, and fulfillment in life.
-Patience
thus reflects the Witness Consciousness of the Infinite Divine; its Stillness,
Beingness, and Truth extended to the field of life. Haste, its opposite,
attracts difficulty and opposition, as one is out of phase with the true
unfoldings and flow of one's existence.

When you are patient, and follow the flow of life, everything
works out perfectly, as life cooperates from various quarters.
-Patience knows the truth of when things should be done.
-Patience is to wait into all aspects are known.
-Patience is the peace that emerges from knowledge and
truth.

The Energy of Quiet
Patience, indicating Principle of "Hasten Slowly"
It is wrong to be impatient. It is equally wrong to be lethargic. Patience does not mean passivity. Quiet Patience has in it enormous energy, as Silence, through the energy it holds, calmly energizes activities outside. This is an indicator of the principle of "Hasten Slowly." (MSS, slightly modified)
