Default Inspiration/Wisdom-everybody needs some...

Let's share some of our favorite inspirational sayings:
Here's some that I've come acrossed:

The odds of hitting a target go up dramatically when you aim at it.

If it is to be...it's up to me.

Don't give up what you want most, for what you want at the moment.

Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.

None of the answers to life's problems are behind the refirgerator door.

Don't wail at the scale, if you cheat when you eat.

Food wasted is better than food waisted.

What you eat in private, shows in public.

Dance like no one's watching, but eat like some is.

If you want to win you have to play the game.

2 rules of self-improvement;
1. It will be difficult.
2. It will be worth it.

and of course...Nothing tastes as good as thin feels!

Please add your favorites....keep on keeping on...

Every step you take is a step away from where you used to be.

If not me then who? If not now then when?

With God all things are possible

I can do all things through Christ who stengthens me

"I asked God to give me happiness. God said, 'No. I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you'."

Your body is the baggage you must carry through life. The more excess the baggage, the shorter the trip.

The tragedy in life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.


"Good friends are like stars ... you don't always see them, but you know they're always there." ---this one is how I feel with the friends I have met here at 3FC!!

Idealperson-I even have that saying taped to the scale!
Marti-I liked your sayings a lot, think I will print them and sent to my friend Starr.
How about these:
In helping others we shall help ourselves for whatever good we give out completes the circle and comes back to us.

The will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect you.

God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.

There are only two choices:make progress or make excuses.

God Bless will check back tomorrow night.

Have you heard of Ralph Marston? He has a web site www.greatday.com and he posts an inspirational quote every day and there are over 2000 of his daily quotes on the site also. Well worth looking at.

Here is a quote that I liked, it is something to remember when people make negative comments about us and/or our weight.
"Unjust criticism is a disguised complement. It often means that you have aroused jealously and envy. Dale Carnigie.

My favorite is:
Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.

When I was a teenager I asked my neighbor (who was at least 50) why she was going to college to finish her degree so late in life. She told me: "4 years will come and go no matter what. I can either have my college degree by then, or be exactly where I am now. "

I look at it now almost the same way: 1 year will come and go no matter what. I can either be thin and healthy or be exactly where I am now.
