    You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space. - Johnny Cash

    The one that I absolutely live my life by is:

    Do something every day that scares you.


    That was Eleanor Roosevelt, I believe.

    Mine is: "If you cannot say something nice about anybody, come sit next to me" Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of Theodore Roosevelt

    I love the "arguing with an idiot" one above though (in yellow).

    PrincessLaundry said in a post that she no longer needs to "taste" her favorite foods all the time because she knows what they taste like. It really inspired me to refocus my way of thinking.

    Thanks Lady!!

    I put it in my file for safe thinking...LOL

    Controlling Naughty Foods

    A friend and I were talking about weight loss a while back. We both came to the strangest agreement about our favorite "bad foods"...

    My favorite foods will always be there...
    I already know what they taste like, so I don't have to go back and "try it" at every opportunity...
    I can get that food when I have "earned" it, not when I just want it.
    My goal is health and love for myself, not this food.

    I think at the time french fries were my favorite. That would be my lunch, with a water. YUCK! What was I thinking? :laugh:

    Now I remind myself that I can know it's good tasting, but I can get it next time, when I know it fits into my plan, and I want to be happy. YUM! It just helps me look at my favorite items and keeping ME in control, not my addiction.

    I have some more that I like:

    "Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing." Redd Foxx

    "Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured."
    "Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open." both from Iyengar

    "A photographer gets people to pose for him. A yoga instructor gets people to pose for themselves." T. Guillemets

    That sounds like something Chuck Swindoll said some years ago. I have never forgotten it, and I look at people differently now (the guy who cuts me off in his car, the grumpy clerk, etc)

    I love quotes! I collect them :smile: Here are some that I love.

    "Don't give up at half time. Concentrate on winning the second half." -- Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant

    "I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more luck I have." -- Thomas Jefferson

    You see things; and you say "Why?" But I dream things that never were; and I say "Why not?" --George Bernard Shaw

    You're never beaten until you admit it. --George S. Patton

    It comes down to a simple question: what do you want out of life, and what are you willing to do to get it?

    If you didn't need a pill to get fat, why would you need one to get unfat?

    Rather than aiming for being perfect, just aim to be little bit better today than you were yesterday.
