I like "you have to eat to lose"......it sounds kind of counter-productive...but man...it's true. So many times in the past (and even now sometimes)....I get hooked on this notion that you have to basically starve yourself to get thin.....when actually....you need to eat enough to keep your metabolism going...... I think in the past I let my body go into starvation mode and I wondered why I didn't lose weight. I have to use this catch phrase to this day....because some days I feel like I'm overeating....I tend to have better losses when I eat more...(mostly healthy foods of course)....something to think about I guess.
I also like an old quote by Mickey Rooney... "You have to pass failure on your way to success". 
Hugs,
Liv

 LMBO! Oh man, when I read your line I thought you were telling someone to stop whining. I was thinking some backlash was coming. Then I read the thread title again and laughed my head off at my mistake.

LMAO!
I needed a good laugh this morning! Hehe... No, I know sometimes I come across harsher than I mean to, but I wouldn't say anything like that here - only in real life, when someone annoys the heck outta me! 
Ya, for me, finally finding something that works and being able to stick with it and WANT to stick with it has been difficult... but certainly when I started Optifast, I HAD to stop whining and just do it; couldn't make any more excuses or have any more pity parties.

Because God has been my "new lifestyle" guru through this whole thing.....
But by the grace of God I am what I am: and His grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
1 Corinthians 15 KJV
God is able. God answers all prayer. I try to pray before each workout, weigh-in, measurement, etc... He helps me through it all.

It really depends on what I'm going through at the moment, but there are a few that I cling to. Most of them I found in one 3fc thread or another.
1. I may not be able to lose 100 pounds but I can lose 10 pounds 10 times.
2. Losing weight is not an all or nothing game. Every bite is another chance to get it right.
3. There a lots of times I don't feel like exercising. I've never regretted going to the gym despite not wanting to. However, I regret NOT going to the gym EVERY SINGLE TIME.
4. Motivation alone is not going to get me to my goal. I accept that sometimes I'll have to make the right choices for no other reason that they are the right choices to make.
5. What I eat, how much I eat, when I eat is MY CHOICE. Nobody can force it upon me. Someone making me happy, sad, or mad does not change that fact.
