"Just because it's there, doesn't mean I have to eat it!"

and

"Doing the exercise today will make me one step ahead for tomorrow"

I'm always inspired by others, so I'm looking forward to some gems I can use

LOL!!

I look at those "poisoned" foods and say, "Now, is that going to help you reach your goal? Those are why you're at the weight you are, silly!"

And from Larry the Cable Guy, "Git 'r' Dun"!

I used to use Tony Little's, "You can do it! And if you can't, we all can tell!" But that somehow feels insensitive now. But it's sometimes what I need to do the last 10 minutes on the treadmill!

Right now this works for me but I'm gonna have to keep changing it as I get older. "There will always be another donut, but I'll never be 21 again." Also I ask myself whether it's really worth it to go up another pants size just cause something tastes good right now

Having health problems did not cause my Obesity, my Obesity is what caused many of my health problems.

I've seen variations of this one on several threads:

Failure is giving up what you want most for what you want now.

This one has really stuck with me. "Where the heart is willing, it will find a thousand ways--where it is unwilling, it will find a thousand excuses."
I also like "Enjoy present pleasures in such a way as not to injure future ones."
