Sunday Scribblings: Progress

In reference to this week's Sunday Sribblings prompt...

Progress is one the hardest concepts for me to acknowledge in my life. I am very much an "immediate gratification" kind of girl, which is funny because I am also a pathological planner. Anyway, that concept of "making progress" towards a goal is never as gratifying as completion, which is probably why I can be quick to give up when something doesn't seem to be going the way I want it to go. Diets are a good example. Making progress can be so small, so seemingly insignificant, that it has always been easier to just give up... move on. I want to see huge changes quickly, in order to stay motivated. The rewards need to come faster. But I think what I often neglect to remember is that there is more to weight loss than a change in appearance. In fact, that *should* be the least of my concerns at this point. The greater reward comes in FEELING better, doing more, and feeling better about myself. This is where I will seek my progress this time. Besides wanting to reduce the number of meds I have to take, I want to feel better. I want to have energy to do more and to give more.
