"Focus on how far you've come, not how far you have to go."

"This transformation isn’t a battle, it’s a war. It isn’t going to be over in just one week or a couple days. Each day is a new battle. And just because you lost a battle doesn’t mean you lost the war."

"Think of trying to push a car up a hill. If it slips a bit and you catch it and keep pushing, you haven't lost much. If it slips and you let it slide, you'll have to go back down the hill and start all over again. It's the same in weight loss. Accept the tiny slip and keep on pushing. Why climb the same hill twice?"

Never doubt in your mind the power you hold in your heart. - My sister

"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause. Who, at best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt

"Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever."

There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say, "Watch me." ----author unknown.

Isn't always the best idea.... I mean, I take that literally... If someone says I can't smoke/drink/eat AND complete a 100mile cycle race, then I do that, why? Because I can and to show them it can be done, might not be fun, but I proved them wrong so screw them, that is what counts.

I just don't care, I will prove those wrong who say I am wrong, screw them! I am right, and I will prove them wrong, even if I do harm myself in process!

Nothing works unless you do.

I've been reading 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, by Stephen R. Covey. The principles are applicable to anything you want to apply them to - including weight loss. Here are some Stephen R. Covey quotes I love:

“But until a person can say deeply and honestly, "I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday," that person cannot say, "I choose otherwise.”

“To touch the soul of another human being is to walk on holy ground.”

“Start with the end in mind. ”

“I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.”

“You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage—pleasantly, smilingly, nonapologetically, to say “no” to other things. And the way you do that is by having a bigger “yes” burning inside. The enemy of the “best” is often the “good.”

“You can't talk your way out of a problem you behaved your way into!”

“To change ourselves effectively, we first had to change our perceptions.”

“If I really want to improve my situation, I can work on the one thing over which I have control - myself.”

“If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster.”

“The ability to subordinate an impulse to a value is the essence of the proactive person.”
