    If you slip up, just get right back on track and keep sticking with it.

    Even if you don't feel like counting calories, they still count.

    I was going to use "revenge is a dish best served cold" for those who may not have found me physically attractive in the past, but dang I can't find the calorie count for revenge in the MFP food database! LOL (totally kidding)

    So instead : I look forward every day to "in 5 weeks you'll weigh" which keeps me motivated.

    A low carb diet kills cravings! (wish I'd listened to the low carbers years ago.)

    Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.

    I love this because it effects me too and I'm not sure why, maybe because my mop I'm used to say it to me all of the time as a teen, although she was overweight as well... I like yours much better :)

    That "eat to live, not live to eat" one gets under my skin for some reason, and not in the good way.

    Mine is: Do what works for you, not what everyone else thinks should work for you.

    I agree - my husband and I are foodies - we enjoy good food - I just think it's important if you are going to "live to eat" sometimes that the focus be on quality not quantity.

    also - to be perfectly honest - I spend a lot more time focusing on what I can and will eat when I'm trying to loose weight than when i'm not worried about it because 1200 calories a day is just not filing to me. that said - I get the point - but I sometimes think "eat to live" is a value judgement made by people that don't enjoy food and the companionship/ fellowship that is so often connected to production, preparation and consumption of food in our society. The truth of the matter there are many days of my week when all I do is work, work out, and eat.

    feeding yourself / denying yourself your every desire is NOT loving yourself...taking excellent care of yourself, THAT is loving yourself...and as the adverts say....YOU ARE WORTH IT...whatever stage you are at NOW. :flowerforyou:
