I think a lot of us are like this! It's natural to want to see the results quickly, but we all have to remember that miracles don't happen and it WILL take time! You didn't put the weight on overnight, it probably crept up on you over time, so the same must happen the other way around! The way I try and look at it is that time flies by so quickly- think in terms of Christmas coming around (again), not having time to catch up with friends ("where does the time go?!") etc etc and apply it to weight loss! A year seems a long time but it flies by so quickly- imagine losing just 1lb a week over a year (slow but steady)- you'd lose 52 lb- that's nearly 4 stone!! I'd rather be the tortoise in the race than one of these people who loses a few stone really quickly by starving myself and doing intense exercise then puts it all back on again because I couldn't sustain the lifestyle!! Good luck, be patient, stick to the plan and you will start seeing the results before you know it!!x
