    Spit or get out the pot?

    No, don't really have a favorite.
    I'm motivated by my awesome friends here...for real.

    And I can always use more friends on MFP...and I'm usually a big encourager. Just one of those days today. :)

    "Hey. If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here...with a big ribbon on his head! And I want to look him straight in the eye, and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, ****less, hopeless, heartless, fat-*kitten*, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey **** he is!
    Hallelujah!

    Holy ****!

    Where's the Tylenol?"

    Haha the version I know is a lot more vulgar than that! I agree with MFP friends. I'm constantly adding new friends to encourage and get motivation from. Some of the stories here are amazing and inspiring! I love my MFP friends!

    It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees.
    Emiliano Zapata
    Mexican reformer & revolutionary (1877 - 1919)


    So I was a small boy of 10 or 11 when I read this the first time. It bounced around in my head without meaning for a bit. That was about the time I started getting bullied unmercifully. So one day I was getting the crap beat out of me, but this time I fought back. I got the crap beat out of me anyway, but I understood. Even though I lost, I found my self-respect. And I wasn't the only one hurt that day. I have never taken a whipping without fighting back again. I do not bend to pressure. My mind and my will is my own.

    Zapata was a freaking terrorist.

    When life gives you a dilemma, make dilemma-nade!

    Haha! I'm afraid to know what dilemma-nade would taste like.

    It goes down smoother once you add in the vodka.

    Ha! RIP Whitney Houston. This song will be in my head for the rest of the day, which is fine because I was getting tired of "Jump in the Line" by Harry Belafonte running through my head for no apparent reason anyway!

    Losing weight is hard, maintaining weight is hard, staying fat is hard - choose your hard :)

    This isn't really motivational but it helps me from freaking out sometimes, lol: Keep calm and do some f*cking cardio

    Be the person you were too lazy to be yesterday

    Do something that will make tomorrow's you proud

    No matter how slow you go, you're still lapping everyone on the couch

    Some of my favs :)
