Hi MF Pals, Anyone got any good motivational quotes for me? I wish to put a few up around to prevent me from "falling off the wagon" (again). Having a hard time with willpower and self sabotage lately.

Got to exercise that willpower muslce in order to make it stronger!

    Will power is another word for self control, it is a learned skill, practiced by refraining from short term temptations in favor of long term goals.
    The more you do it the better you get at it. Not really a motivational quote just the way it is. but feel free to use it that way if you like.

    My personal favourite is this:

    Losing weight is hard. Being fat is hard. Choose your hard.

    I can see how a motivational quote could be helpful for anything but I'll give it a shot.

    "No one likes fast people".
    "Fat people make Jesus cry".
    "Thin is win".

    Those ones make me sad :(

    Also, why would no one like fast people?

    I get motivated to diet and exercise several times a day when the Viagra commercials come on:

    Nobody else can have your fun for you.

    That has gotten me into great fun and great trouble,

    But no regrets.

    If you need a motivational saying, you probably just don't want to do it enough in the first place.
