People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas.
Bigger snacks mean bigger slacks.
To lengthen your life, shorten your meals.
Don't dig your grave with your own knife and fork.
Not afraid of heights - afraid of widths.
Stressed spelled backwards is desserts. Coincidence? I think not!
The biggest seller is cookbooks and the second is diet books - how not to eat what you've just learned how to cook.
One day at a time, one pound at a time
Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are
"So long as there is breath in me, that long I will persist. For now I know one of the greatest principles on success; if I persist long enough I will win."
"You have a very powerful mind that can make anything happen as long as you keep yourself centered."
Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending!
Live your life the way you want to and not the way others expect you to live
You may dread the miles ahead, but you won't regret those behind.
When I hear somebody sigh that life is hard, I am always tempted to ask, Compared to what?
All our dreams can come true - if we have the courage to pursue them.
If you really want something, you can figure out how to make it happen.
A desire can overcome all objects and obstacles that stand in our way.
It’s not whether you get knocked down. It’s whether you get up again.
Do, or do not. There is no 'try'.
Will you look back on your life and say, "I wish I had," or "I'm glad I did"?
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
Just go out there and do what you've got to do.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate on the present moment.
Do not allow yourself to get hung up on things that have already happened, or worry about about things that may happen. Just concentrate on what your are shooting for right now and everything else will take care of itself.
Have control over your own motivation to succeed. The more you desire something, the more driven you will become to acquire it. Challenge yourself every day to overcome the obstacles that are right there in front of you.
I'm not telling you it is going to be easy - I'm telling you it's going to be worth it
There is a powerful driving force inside every human being that once unleashed can make any vision, dream or desire a reality
No matter who you are, no matter what you do, you absolutely, positively do have the power to change.
You've got to say, I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough I can have it. It's called perseverance.
You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be.
Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs. This goes for weight loss as well. :flowerforyou:
Don't go out of your weigh to please anyone but yourself.
