    "being lost is so close to being found"

    and I also really love

    "It's not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them 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, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." -Teddy Roosevelt

    Two from Emerson:

    What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters to what lies within us.

    Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.

    "You can't eat like that and look like this".

    Anytime I feel tempted to eat poorly (how I used to eat 59 lbs ago), I tell myself this. It helps me make good choices about food everyday.

    "it's never too late to be what you might have been" George Elliott




    That's one of my favorites too. I love reading the novels of George Eliot, (Mary Anne Evans).

    Life is trouble. Only death is not. To be alive is to look for trouble. Zorba the Greek

    Don't explain, and don't complain. Anthony Bourdain, Kitchen Confidential

    From Marianne Williamson, A Course in Weight Loss - 21 Spiritual Lessons for Surrendering Your Weight Forever

    Overeating may seem self-indulgent. Actually, it is a profound rejection of self. To commit to a diet, you must commit to yourself. Don't deny your self your own passion, your own path, your own longing, your own drama, your own life force, your own truth.

    And from one of the reflections at the end of a lesson - Free me from false appetites and take away my pain. Take from me my compulsive self, and show me who I am.

    It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to take a giant leap forward only to stumble back.

    The above has got me through many weigh ins where I think my loss is so small.

    "You are too smart to be the only thing standing in your way"

    I love this. Really sums it up for me - often I am the only thing standing in my way of success.

    "You save yourself, or you remain unsaved." It's not a quote, really; I read it in a book a billion years ago, and it's always in my head- If you want, you'll do it, plain and simple! :)

    Nothing taste better than the feeling of being thin.

    Wasn't it Kate Moss who said "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels?"

    It was Wallace Simpson who said it first.

    "There is a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results." --Unknown
