I have these hanging up in my kitchen, the first half are quotes, the last half are my personal motivation:

Start from where you are. It is the only place you can.
Don’t give up what you want most for what you want at the moment.
Understand that you are capable of making significant changes. Then prove yourself right.
Just get started. Then don’t quit.
When you stretch yourself, you find out how strong you are.
I always regret it when I don’t. I never regret it when I do.

I am in training.
I want to reach my ideal body weight.
I want to have a clean and healthy body.
I want to build muscle and reduce body fat.
I do not want to indulge in sweets because they are packed with artificial ingredients.
When I over-eat or indulge in sweets I perspire more, retain water, and get very tired.

I love these Angie!
