    It's a marathon, not a sprint.

    "Don't reward yourself with food: you're not a dog."

    Daniel Powter: "Bad Day"

    Cause you had a bad day
    You're taking one down
    You sing a sad song just to turn it around
    You say you don't know
    You tell me don't lie
    You work at a smile and you go for a ride
    You had a bad day
    The camera don't lie
    You're coming back down and you really don't mind
    You had a bad day
    You had a bad day

    There is no "try" -- only "do" or "don't do."

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

    It is better to have a body in shape than to obsess about the shape of your body.

    Always keep in mind: "You didn't put on your extra weight in one night with one big meal, just as you won't lose this extra weight in one day"

    MORAL
    1. It takes time to lose weight, and goodwill
    2. You won't fail because you cheat because of this big you had.


    :D good luck everyone!

    My biggest food lesson to date: Some foods are not worth the calories.

    When I splurge, it's going to be a splurge on foods I love. No more eating just to eat.

    I can still eat the foods I like, but in moderation. No more eating until I'm stuffed.

    Getting to your ideal weight is only 1/4 of the battle - not gaining it all back is the rest!

    Being afraid that you'll fail this by overeating your calories on one day is like saying you failed at walking because you tripped.

    The numbers on the scale will not show you how kind you are, how smart and talented you are, or how much you are loved.

    Do not let yourself be held back by self-imposed limitations.

    I've learned; Eat any damn thing you want to, just expend more energy/calories than you take in. It's NOT about restrictions or self deprivation.

    Dead heat with;

    IGNORE anybody who tells you that you can't eat red meat, cheese, butter, chocolate, cream, or eggs.
