A short coaching video by Jim Katsoulis arguing that impatience causes people to choose extreme, unsustainable weight-loss plans which they cannot maintain. Using an analogy (practicing piano eight hours/day), he warns that starting too fast leads to burnout and urges adopting slower, sustainable changes to achieve lasting weight change.

Your impatience is making you overweight because you want to get results as fast as possible. You're choosing extreme plans and you're starting them off way too fast to be able to stick with them. It would be like if I wanted to play the piano and I decide I'm going to practice eight hours a day. Well, that's great for the first two days. And the rest of the week I can't move my hands because they're cramped up. This is the same thing that's happening to you with your weight loss. You've got to change this if you really want to change your weight.
