A generation of immediate gratification, that is who we have become. A hunger for immediate rewards consumes us at times. When it doesn't, we stop and walk away. And when it comes to our weight and health, we want the pounds to drop immediately. And we quit way too soon if we do not see the results.
I do not mean to be so blunt, but it is time to stop acting like a child and demanding it your way. Years of poor eating or not exercising cannot be changed in a week. You will have to be patient to get the result you want. Stop the tantrum of I did all the work, but did not lose the weight I wanted so I quit. You need to choose a lifestyle change and choose to be patient while it changes your body and health.
Nothing is more frustrating than working out and giving up your chocolate for a couple of pounds. But that is just one week. Week after week those couple of pounds add up. Eventually you will put on those pants and they will be too big. Choosing to stick it out will have great rewards. You may just have to wait. (Side note: losing a small amount of weight on a consistent basis, will actually help you keep it off.)
Please do not give up, choose to make a lifestyle change that leads to better health and stick with it. The awesome rewards are coming, just be patient and wait.
And before we close, the same goes with your walk with God. You may have started being with Hm everyday, but do not feel the change you want. Maybe you feel things should be going easier or you should feel closer to God. Remember, God answers His way. Open your eyes to fully see how He is working in your life. Or maybe you want God to do a certain thing in your life, but He wants to do something else. God is working. Don't give up on change in your life. God's timing is perfect. Keep seeking Him and growing closer to Him. He has plans for you, I do not think you want to miss out.
