Sometimes I feel I will not accomplish what I want in life. I want to be there already, not a work in progress. I am more of a perfectionist than I like to admit. I have a really hard time being patient with myself. How many times have I heard or read " you did not get in this situation overnight, so don't expect to get out of it overnight", and I still do? I took up piano playing and painting for this very reason--to work on being patient with myself, and to prove that it is ok not to be perfect. Still, I persist in this thought process. I am making headway and I am proud of myself. Even if it is baby steps, I have taken those baby steps. Perhaps things aren't changing in the ways I want, nor at the rate I would like, but I am making progress. Rome was not built in a day, right? I need to love and embrace where I am now. Lately there just seems to never be enough time for everything..

-exercise program is going really well.
-diet is improving

Patience is a virtue. I guess I should work on an affirmation about patience and effort. I feel a little less frustrated now, so I am off to get some work done.
