    I'm unrelenting. I do whatever it takes. If this journey required double the work that I put in now, I would do it without hesitation. Nothing will stand in my way. I am worth it.. you are worth it.

    Even if I don't care right now today, I will tomorrow. Then I will wish I had cared yesterday. So I try to think NOT JUST FOR TODAY or TOMORROW, Think about how great you will feel about YESTERDAY!!!!

    For eating : "Eat for your abs not your tumyy"
    For work outs: "Just keep swimming" or "I CAN do this" or "No pain no gain"

    For everyday
    "I've made the decision, I'm making the committment, I'm seeing the results"
    or
    "If you focus on results you will never change. If you focus on change you will see results"

    When I'm at the gym and having a difficult time, I tell myself that victory for the day is just a few minutes away. I like to think that I'm winning the battle to be more active one day at a time and that I can achieve my daily victory over the excuses by just finishing my workout. I always feel so much better after I exercise, but sometimes it's difficult to get started. I guess to sum it up mantra-style it would be "I choose to be victorious today!"

    I picture myself feeling bad the next day about the bad choices I've made that day, and that sometimes really helps!

    Put up a pic of yourself of what you don't like. Put is pic in the bathroom and by your bedroom door. A constance reminder should movitate you.

    I do not say anything, I have a goal bikini stuck to my refrigerator with magnets to keep me reminded of where I want to go. It not only helps me make smarter food choices, but when I see it, it reminds me to get in some exercise and move my body so I can have some decent muscle tone too.

    I look in the mirror every morning and give myself a compliment about loosing or looking like I lost. Positive reinforcement works better for me. If I mess up, I won't have anything good to say the next day- no one wants that.

    "If I can get through the hardest thing I've ever had to experience in my life, then everything else after this should be relatively easy."

    Followed by: "I want more pain. I love this *kitten*."

    someone once said to me ...."Pay now....or pay later"

    meaning sooner or later you'll be paying the price for your actions (literally as it relates to health problems later in life---or now)....so pay in putting in the time and discipline now so you can enjoy and have fun later:))

    I alway play the W.I.W.M. game...What I want more...
    I actually keep a list...haha! it can be something like- being able to cross my legs, or, not looking like that lady who's stomach is coming over the steering wheel...
    and after I get a long list i can say to myself not only do i get this one thing but i can have the WHOLE list!!!
    That's helped me with my first 10 pounds
    Also keep in my that a minute on the lips is a lifetime on the hips!!
    best of luck!
