What little phrase do you say to yourself to motivate you each day?

What reminds you why its best to walk on by the donut stand?Why its best to put on your walking/ gym shoes?

"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

"If you aren't hungry, don't eat it"

and

"Have a cup of tea instead"

1. Failure is not an option.
2. i'm too old to take orders from a cookie.

I take a cue from Nike..."just do it."

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!

"A year will pass whether I lose weight or not - so why not?"

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.

"Nothing tastes as good as Thin feels".

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."

This year is my year! And this moment is the right moment to lose weight. There isnīt a better time to do it so I do it now.

Hey Tia!

Jay

yeah thats a fav of mine too

"It feels better when you know guys are looking at you're butt because its so damn hot.... not because the pencil you lost is stuck inside it!"
