Wait...I think that's 'revenge'.
Progress feels 'cold' sometimes, though...and revenge can LEAD to progress as a motivator.
I KNEW there was a connection.
Progress and I have a love/hate relationship. I LOVE to see progress and progress LOVES to push me beyond my limits...which I HATE. Although I've been told I love a challenge...there is that part of me that faces it with dread. It might be because I'm not in my 'comfort zone' and anything else feels 'icky'. I will, however, admit that when a challenge sets in I do dig my heels in and really work hard to make it happen.
...and usually it does.
So why don't I have more confidence that I can overcome a challenge? I don't know...except that I fight against myself for some reason. Maybe I'm afraid to succeed...or afraid that I'll finally find a point where I won't/can't make it happen and I will fail. Not sure...jury is still out on that one. Let's just say that I do know that I fight myself and leave it at that.
...and the winner is...
The answer is a little tricky because to say that I win either way is false. I don't win when I decide not to try, yet the part of me that says she doesn't want to try does a little happy dance when I cave. Let's sum things up...I won when I decided to work on losing weight. I won when I decided to take those
Winning.
So, when I say that progress is a dish best served cold, I guess it means that progress takes time and if you think you are going to eat a bowl of piping hot progress...think again. Once in a while you are able to take a bite of it warm and savor the taste...and it makes you want more. But you'll find that, like some foods, progress is better cold.
Like ice cream.

Progress should come with fries on the side. Or in a pretty sundae cup with whipped cream and a cherry on top. Thanks, now I'm hungry!
You can fight and cry and moan all you want, but in the end, you've given Progress a punch in the face every time.
Good on ya', Wilson.
