Helpful quote to keep motivated.

Considering that I have a significant amount of weight to lose, I often find myself becoming discouraged and wanting to rush the process with unhealthy crash dieting (we all know how that goes!) or give up entirely. I recently found a quote that I have regularly repeated to myself when those negative thoughts enter my mind and I wanted to share it with you all.


“Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.” - Earl Nightingale

I hope that this will serve as an encouragement to others as we realize our worth. Each small good choice leads to reaching our dreams of a healthy lifestyle. I am learning to be more mindful of the emotional aspects that have kept my weight on and am so thankful to have a place to come to gain support and encouragement. Blessings to you all in this journey!

Anyone else have a quote or mantra they have found as a source of strength?

    You did not put on the weight overnight so do not expect to lose it overnight

    I always liked the last two lines from the poem "Invictus."

    "I am the master of my fate;
    I am the captain of my soul."

    And...

    "...remember one thing only: that it's you - nobody else - who determine your destiny and decide your fate." - E. E. Cummings
