Either juice diets as a whole, or a magazine headline I saw a while back - 'lose thirty pounds of stress fat!'

Hm. That's also an interesting one. Learning to eat when hungry and not when bored was important. Calories matter, but screwing up isn't the end of the world - you can start again tomorrow. Also, this picture has been a huge source of motivation for me recently. (The caption is 'You don't get what you wish for, you get what you work for'.)
