I'm looking for motivational phrases to repeat to myself anytime I feel like I might slip away from my plan.

Please share any you might have!

"This is about more than a number... It is about my LIFE!"

But I can't take credit for it. I saw it in the signature of another member, vdander24

Mine isn't as much a phrase as it's a reminder... I've been having these binge-like dreams and when I wake up -I feel awful -until I realize that I'm still on my program and I feel so happy. So whenever I even think of slipping - I remind myself how I feel after waking from a binge(real or imagined -the feeling is just awful)... that does it for me!!

I like to pump myself up to bypass foods that are bad for me so I think to myself "Do this thing! You're for real!" Silly but it helps me feel like a bad ***.

For me when I was losing it was "when the going gets tough, the tough get going". It got me though many a plateau.

Don't let today's moment forsake tomorrow's dream.

I'm not there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday.

Fridge pickers wear big knickers.

These are all great, thanks everyon!

Lol LOVE this one

The one in my signature--"Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." This helps when my perfectionist tendencies kick in and threaten to sabotage another effort to get healthy.

I love these!

The ones in my signature help me alot. Also another favorite that helps me is "food is fuel, not a friend."

The one that really wakes me up is telling myself that this day, next year, is going to come whether I like it or not....it's up to me to be at goal.

Today is not the last time I'm ever going to be able to eat [this food]
It's inspired from a similar saying that someone had here a year or two ago and it really helped me a lot. Every time I'm tempted to eat that cake- I mean, what's the point? It's just a slice of cake. I'm going to be able to have another slice of cake at some point in my life. There are more important things- like losing weight

LOVE THIS!!! Bump.

Here's a good one for exercise:
No one ever said they regretted going to the gym.

Here's a funny one for temptations:
A moment on the lips a lifetime on the hips.

Someone was commenting that they didn't think they could eat a steady diet of chicken and the same vegetables. The response was, "Why not? It's just food." "It's just food" has resonated.

Also the thought that after you finish that "off-plan-fill-in-the-blank-food," besides the calories, all you have are the memories. You've probably eaten that food before and already have the memories, so why eat it?
