    I mentally compare lazy vs. accomplished. "Ok, so right now you feel slothful, guilty, bored and anxious. On the other hand, if you were to stop being a lazybetch and go workout, you'll feel accomplished and like a BADASS MOTHAFUCKA. GET UP OFF THIS COUCH."

    Boom.

    Most of the time, boom.

    (but sometimes not, sometimes laziness wins)

    Self talk does matter, and improving it has improved my success.

    Yes! Glue it inside your eyelids!

    "never let them get you down"

    I also follow Ashley Graham on instagram and remember that I'm beautiful just as I am and can only get better.

    It's okay to talk to yourself, as long as you don't respond.

    It's even ok to respond and dialogue with yourself, as long as you don't bite your own head off.

    What if you constantly lose the argument????

    Anyway, not the motivational quote type. As a matter of fact, I read Motifake quite often. I know the 10-12 minute mark of my run is when I want to stop and just keep going. By the 35 minute mark, I know I need to stop even though I want to go further.

    I think about Rasputia from Norbitt and how I used to look like her.

    Nothing. I'm not much for motivational stuff. It's often just a simple "do the damn thing" and if I fail to do something for whatever reason, it's "do the damn thing next time". Motivation is overrated for me, personally. I can't rely on something so unreliable and fleeting that I need to put more mental effort into keeping it up than the thing itself that I'm trying to motivate myself for.

    Nothing really...

    Im an adult, I made a decision i wanted something, I do it.

    Motivtional stuff doesnt really suit me much, Gotta find the drive in myself to do half the things i do, Not really sure any outside cutesy words would ever help.

    I tell myself....

    What are you going to do with the twenty-four hours in this day? When you hear yourself or other people say you can't, use this day to prove you can.

    I employ the cognitive behavioral techniques I learned to stop abusing alcohol from Smart Recovery or Rational Recovery. I'm alert for Sabotaging Thoughts and acknowledge and counter them.

    Sabotaging Thought: "Don't really want to walk today - looks like rain."
    Counter: "That's a Sabotaging Thought. It's not raining yet. Put on proper gear and get out there."

    With regard to food and exercise I say to myself, "just suck it up. you'll thank me later". Then I wake up the next morning and think, "ha! I was right".

    When I feel myself wanting to go over my calorie goal, I tell myself "nothing tastes as good as being thin feels"
