don't look at daily losses but total losses

It takes 21 days to break to break a habit.

You will miss the odd workout, you will eat things that you're not supposed too, you will have bad days, you will wonder whether it's all worth it but ultimately you have to keep going...Keep on keepin' on just like the story of the tortoise and the hare -> slow and steady wins the race.

Not all calories are created equal, so it's better to stick to whole/natural foods.

Don't torture myself by cutting out ALL foods I love....moderation and portion control

I just recently came to terms with this! As long as I feel great, its all good.

The scale is EVIL, but it is so hard to stop weighing oneself EVERY DAMN MORNING!!!!

Don't stop working towards a healthy body even after you get to your goal.

Learned this the hard way, you won't stay looking good if you go back to old habits and quit exercising.

There are no "good" or "bad" foods. It's all fuel, just some of it is waaaaay tastier than others and moderation is the key

Meat is much more satisfying, per calorie, than bread.

cebreisch

That's absolutely true!! This is your journey, not anybody else's. So why compare yourself to anybody else?


MIne comes from one of the first conversations I had with a nutritionist:
She asked: Do you want to lose weight?
I responded: Well yeah....
A little voice in my head said: Then act like it.

"Lifestyle change, NOT a diet"

I have to keep reminding myself of this!

With a little planning and picking the right recipes, it's possible to satisfy my foodie side* and still lose weight.

* Although I still haven't figured out how to enjoy the chef's amazing seven-course tasting menu at my favorite restaurant and eat something other than lettuce for the rest of the week. Since this is a twice-a-year treat at most (not being a millionaire), perhaps I'll just shoot for maintenance that week and catch up later.

BTW, I want a LIKE button for some of these quotes.
