    "If you aren't enough without it, you'll never be enough with it."

    This one's actually from COOL RUNNINGS and referrs to obtaining a gold medal (and possible cheating to get there), but I think it applies to all goals- looking to the "perfect weight" or "perfect body" or anything to make you whole won't get you where you want. You have to be enough for yourself, with or with out that goal to really suceed.

    One of my new favorites is "If hunger isn't the problem, then food isn't the answer." Another I like is "Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels."

    I'm a runner...so this is one of my favorites from the Bible!!

    Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

    1 Corinthians 9:24-27

    I actually keep a little book of quotes that I like.... I have a found a few that are applicable to the whole weightloss Journey

    "Accept the challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory." ~ General George S. Patton

    "One's best success comes after his greatest disappointments." ~ Henry Ward Beecher

    "It is not alone what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable." ~ Moliere

    I love listening to music while I am on the treadmill and though I would never run until I drop I love this quote from the song "Fool in the Rain" by Led Zeppelin- "I will run in the rain 'til I'm breathless and when I'm breathless I'll run 'til I drop". Very motivational to me.

    "I'd rather have heart, than courage or a brain"

    It's actually from a song called Rikki Tikki Tavi by Fair To Midland and when I'm feeling a bit low or like I'm not quite enough; I think about that and it helps.
