It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.   Confucius The con of our "fast-food-society" is we've been conditioned to believe that if *it* doesn't happen quick or happen immediately then we should just give up.  But the reality is the the slower or longer it takes the better chance we have of *it* sticking.  It is along the journey of *it* that we learn lessons of sustainability, patience, perseverance, courage, etc.  If *it* happens too quickly then the chances for relapse are high because the necessary lessons haven't been learned.  As the saying goes, "slow and steady wins the race" and the fable of the tortoise and the hare proved that.  Like the tortoise, it doesn't matter how slow you go it just matters that you don't stop.
