How to remain patient with weight loss?

Again, a question that I'm sure has an answer somewhere, but I can't seem to find one easily right now.

I've been at this for about a month now (I can't believe it's been a month! Both a "wow! a month!" and a "wow, a month??") I once upon a time lost around 80lbs, and I was feeling phenomenal. I know that I felt great in my own skin, and I knew that I looked radiant. I look back on old photos and can't wait to be back there, or even better.

For me right now, I love that I have daily goals set, as well as long-term goals. Step goals, activity goals, tracking my food, etc. I feel incredible going to sleep at night knowing that I've met my goals. I love thinking about how things can be months from now, but I need to learn to practice patience and accountability and know that change will absolutely not happen overnight.

I'm down around 4.6lbs as of last week (weigh in day is tomorrow!) so I know that change is happening, and I can feel it in my energy levels and my quality of sleep, as well as my headspace, but it's so tough for me to be patient when I think long-term. However, how do you stay patient with just trusting the process? How do you just not wish for it to be 6 months from now, all the work put in?
