    Listen to the MUSTN'Ts child, Listen to the DON'Ts
    Listen to the SHOULDN'Ts the IMPOSSIBLEs
    The WON'Ts
    Listen to the NEVER HAVES
    then listen close to me
    ANYTHING can happen, child
    ANYTHING can be


    I probably got the spacing all wrong but it's a Shel Silverstein poem. One of my favorites.

    My fav at this moment is
    "Im losing weight for me. But im also doing it as a big SCREW YOU to all the people out there who never gave me a chance because i was fat."

    other motivation quotes during workout/diet;

    "Youve come too far to take orders from cookie"
    "you may not have your dream body by the time you were hoping, but you'll look a hell of a lot better than you do now"
    "The secret to successful weightloss is simple; self love." < that one is on my ticker.

    Today is never too late to be brand new.

    And I like working out to the song Boom Boom Pow, when they say "gotta get that boom boom boom" because I just gotta get that boom boom boom. Haha

    My favorite is by Mark Twain: "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog." I apply that to EVERYTHING in my life. Especially work since I'm very new and young and faith is very short in my line of work. It helps me not give up when everyone says I'm not experienced enough to handle something.

    And it helps a lot when you're doing heavy strength training and cardio. :)

    True... I struggle with both. But, I always seem to get a better workout when I hate myself because I always put on some Three Days Grace or Mudvayne and go crazy in the gym. lol

    Mine is "Nothing tastes as good as fit feels."

    You, obviously, have never had cheescake. :wink:

    And I used to agree with that statement until someone suggested it leads to an unhealthy attitude towards food.

    See, I think that statement is WAAAAY better than "Nothing tastes as good as SKINNY feels."

    Because really, that is an unhealthy attitude towards food.

    I love the switch to it by adding 'fit' instead of 'skinny'.

    As for a favorite mantra... hmmm, that's tough because during my work outs and runs my brain is always just repeating "Go, dammit. GO!"

    Lol - it's effective, you just have to use it to your advantage!

    The key to my exercise program is this one simple truth: I hate my body....Do you understand that the second you look in the mirror and you're happy with what you see, baby you just lost the battle!

    "Go Big or Go Home!"

    I had originally used it when working out (the husband uses it on me all the time: "What, you're not upping your weights? Why don't you just go home then?!" LOL!) Now it's my motto for pretty much everything.
