    "You've given birth to 3 babies. YOU CAN DO THIS!"

    "I can do hard things." I have to tell my kids that all the time.

    Other times when I want to quit halfway through the workout, I'll just repeat my next mini goal number over and over. Works well.

    Whenever I lose a pound I also think of what a block of Velveeta cheese looks like. "I've lost 26 blocks of Velveeta! Sure glad I'm not toting them around anymore!" (I do realize that one is kinda weird lol)

    I do that too, but now with velveeta. I picture bags of flour or canned goods...lol

    Mine is "Don't live to eat, eat to live." It helps when I have late night cravings, and keep me focused on my goals. Reminding me that food is not there becuase I am bored, but to give me nutrients that I need.

    It also helps me when I work out to keep a "you gotta give something to get something", I like that and it's true.

    Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.

    Ayn Rand -- I LOVE this quote and had completely forgotten about it. Thank you for posting it and reminding me!

    I always try to ask myself what I want more -- that piece of cake, pizza, chicken wing, whatever, or the body I'm working towards.
    Sometimes the cake wins, but not usually. :)

    This works with working out too -- do I want to sit around and be lazy more than I want to lose the weight? That works almost ALL the time!

    A guy friend shared this one: when you're feeling hungry, say to yourself, "This is what losing weight feels like." I'm not saying you should go hungry, but I've found this helpful when I am wanting an unhealthy snack, when I know I will be having a healthy meal in a half hour. In other words, just to hold out a little longer or until a healthier option is available.
