Hey everyone at MFP...This is my 4th day at MFP and I've been doing a lot of thinking the last couple days...what are some quotes that inspire you to keep going when you're down. I'd love to know what keeps YOU going! For me, this is one:

Food doesn't taste as good as skinny feels

Granted, I don't know how skinny feels (YET!!) but will someday! And I can't wait!!

    I don't know if it's really inspiring but it definitely motivates me to always have a plan

    "If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail."

    and of course my all-time favorite from my favorite green dude (not that I know many green dudes)

    My two quotes have always been:

    "Life if what you make it"

    and

    "Don't ride down the escalator, walk up the stairs" - this is an emotional thing, obviously, about not sitting back and watching negative things happen when you could be putting in efforts to bring about the positive It got me through a lot in my younger years, but I guess now the same applies to weight loss, mentally and physically!
