( I posted this question in the 100 plus forum, thought I'd bring it here too to get your favs!)

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 life is not about Food !

This quote is one of mine for motivation for my weight loss plan and another is

I post these on yellow post it notes with a Sharpie and that is all that is on my fridge front!

An old Creole saying:
Un balai neuf un balai propre.
translation: A new broom sweeps clean.

I don't know how motivational it is, but one of my favorite sayings meaning sometimes it's just better to start over.

its in my signature:

Eat to live.... NOT live to Eat!

Wow, I don't think I have a favorite motivational quote! Maybe that's the problem. There's DH's favorite, "we're surrounded by idiots", but that doesn't quite work. Now I feel left out, jealous, and kind of empty. Going off to look for a motivational quote to call my own...

These are my two main go to quotes that keep me going when I start to fade!

Good Luck!

Here's an interesting one I just came across on an Anxiety forum. It's thought provoking and fitting for those who need a little of the "tough love" vibe.

"It's your body, it's totally in your control, so be strong and take control now."

Here are some I like:

"Your body is the baggage you must carry through life. The more excess the baggage, the shorter the trip."
-Arnold H. Glasgow

"You have to stay in shape. My grandmother, she started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 today and we don't know where the **** she is."
-Ellen Degeneres (that one just makes me laugh)

"One cardinal rule in behavioral medicine is that unless it is interfered with, your body knows exactly what it is doing and always does the best thing it can do under the circumstances. Consequently, if you are overweight, you may reasonably assume that the extra fat itself is your body's best adjustment to the circumstances you are providing."
-Jill Johnson

THese are great! keep em' coming!

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.

Walking is man's best medicine.

Not sure how motivational this one is to others... but it keeps me going no matter what obstacle I'm trying to overcome..

One foot in front of the other gets you where you need to go.

"Eat to live, don't live to eat" is one I have to keep coming back to over and over again. Will it matter tomorrow whether I had that fried fish or a healthy grilled fish? Right now the fried might sound better, but tomorrow my heart will be happier and I probably won't remember the taste of the fried!
