What's your favorite motivational quote?
I'm in the process of sticking motivational notes all over my fridge and house.
My favorite this week is:
NOTHING, Absolutely nothing, tastes as good as being thin feels.
( Thank you Rockin' Robin that one struck a chord.)
When I first saw that quote, I was like...What the heck does thin feel like anyways?
As I pass that quote in my house now , I'm like "I'm on my way!"
I'll know one of these days..
Share your fav. motivational quote.

My favorite quote isn't directly related to food, but it is "Strangers are the friends you have yet to come to know."
It helps keep me motivated because I know that once I start feeling better about myself, the easier it will be to turn strangers into friends

John Mayer - "Twice as much isn't twice as good"
He may not have meant it to refer to food but I think of it all the time when I'm craving too much of something.

So many quotes, so little time ... how about? .... If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always had.

I can't remember where I found this one, but it spoke to me:
"Losing weight is not a goal in itself but rather the result of changing your attitude and the way you do things. Therefore, the truest indication that you're winning this battle comes in how you spend your days." - Victoria Moran

"Just because you dropped one egg...doesn't mean you have to smash the other 11!!!"
- (I first heard this from a very wise person here, but it was long ago and I can't remember who said it...sorry!)
Personally, I smashed the other 11 and then threw in an extra dozen..for good measure!!!
This isn't negative thinking toward myself, it's just true...and I'm really going to need to remember this one this time around!

Oh, gosh, I have so many. I save quotes in a word document and it's currently 27 pages long. Here's a couple I love:
“Those who say sunshine brings happiness have never danced in the rain”
“You don't drown by falling in the water, you drown by staying there.”
If I'm allowed to live . . . I shall not remain insignificant. I shall work in the world and for mankind. Anne Frank
Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.
And my all time favourite is in my signature...
