I dont' know if anyone has said this but a quote I use to NOT grab that snack I want is "What you eat in private, you wear in public!".

I think to myself when there are bad food choices around: Fat processed food is poison. Dramatic, yes. But if I eat it I have the worst explosion of acne ever, Sorry if TMI, but the threat of excessive pimples seems to appeal to my sense of vanity more than chubby does. I actually have uncharacteristic breakouts to thank for my decision to start MFP. So far so good.

To work out, I need a little bit more self motivation.

I think:
You stop when you are done, not when you are tired.
Sore or sorry?

I also look at my elliptical and if I start thinking about skipping, I picture fat me throwing hundreds of dollars into a garbage can...that image has been helpful.

I set goals for myself, physical challenges, so the focus isn't about the food, it's about what I'm fueling for.

stop being such a fatass. Thats what I say to myself.

Some Ex Military may recognise this, and although I was military, I was not one of those elite from which this springs. The quote is:


The only easy day is yesterday.

Thank you for sharing. This is very inspring to me!

I like this. I have been covering up the clock on my elliptical so that I focus on the rpm and distance. I have also tried recently to branch out and try new things like pilates- which I thought I hated until yesterday.

There are two days of the week in which absolutely nothing can be accomplished: Yesterday and tomorrow.

This is not a dress rehearsal - this is real life.

Do the next right thing.

I like this one. Because it is so true. I try to think about what is going to make feel good all day and not give me a headache or a stomach ache, and what will get me through those super tough workouts.

Mine is my profile title - 'Even your worst run/workout is better than someone who hasn't tried' - it helps me get out to workout and it also motivates me to keep going even if I've had a 'bad' run or didn't last through the workout as well as I wanted or for as long as I wanted.

Mine would have to be : Did you ever hear someone say "I really regret that workout."? No one. Ever.

Every drive-thru is serving pink slime on a processed bleached slab of carbs and drizzled in corn syrup artificially flavored with stuff you can't pronounce.

Mmmmm good.
