Patience
There is an old saying that says "patience is a virtue", this is so true. Some of us forget that we did not get the things that we have over night and it may not be an over night process to get other things accomplished. Weight loss is one of those areas where everyone wants a quick fix to fix something that did not happen over night. Weight gain is a learned process, if you will. We get into bad habits such as eating too much, not exercising, and just plain old letting things stress us out. We gain unwanted weight and then we seek quick methods to get the unwanted weight off of us. We must learn how to be patient and take positive corrective methods to get our temple (body) back to were we want it to be. Weight loss will take time and discipline to accomplish lasting results for a lifetime. Yes, there are quick alternatives, such as liposuction and gastric bypass surgery, but some of these alternatives leave the temple (body) with negative side affects and damage the immune system for life. Just remember that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you and He will give you the patience to accomplish your goals.
