    To stay optimistic, which is a MAJOR point for me:

    Trying to lose weight by starving yourself is like trying to get rid of weeds in a garden by not watering it.

    Everyday you wake up is the day you are going to be fitter than yesterday. Even if that means just getting more sleep.

    "Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. I am not remotely interested in just being good." Vince Lombardi


    "Don’t fall for the crap that people are peddling on message boards, in magazines or on TV. Get your **** in order, and get your training in order. Start kicking *kitten*, and take out the crap that
    doesn’t matter. Start doing and believing in the stuff that works, and do it today and forever. You want science and studies? **** you. I’ve got scars and blood and vomit." Jim Wendler


    "I only have one chance on this planet.

    I understand that just because others are unhealthy it doesn’t give me an excuse to be okay with “Good Enough!” I understand that I need to surround myself with awesome people doing great things who want to kick complacency to the curb. I understand that every day is an opportunity to get a little bit closer to my ultimate level, and it’s my responsibility to live up to my potential.

    Every day, I want to wake up happy and go to bed proud. I hope you want the same for yourself!" Steve Kamb


    "Something in the universe loves me. Something in the universe loves the entity that is me. I would choose to call this something "God", a singular spark that dwells in the soul of every living being. If you look inside yourself you will find that spark too. You will. But you have to look deep. Love your faults. Embrace them. If God embraces them, then how can they be faults? Love yourself. You have to love yourself. If we don't love ourselves, how can we love others? And when we know what we are, then we can find the truth out about others, seek what they are; the truth about them. And you know what the truth is? The truth about them? About you? About me? Do you? The truth is, we're all perfect. Just as we are. God only loves that which is perfect and he loves you. He loves you because you are perfect. You are perfect. Just as you are." Gaius Baltar

    "You're eating THAT?!!!!!" Apparently, I would say that often to people in my office in helping them eat healthy. I never noticed until someone brought it up.

    also..

    'do not reward yourself with food. You are not a dog.'
    'no matter how slow you go, you're still lapping everybody on the couch'
    'a champion is someone who gets up when they can't'
    if you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. you may have a fresh start any moment, for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down'
    'nothing will work until you do'
    a goal without a plan is just a wish'

    howzat?


    All very excellent!!!!!

    My current two favorites:

    "Suffer the pain of discipline or suffer the pain of regret."

    "If if doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you."

    I love that quote! It is so true! My dog eats better than I do, well she used to anyway, I've gotten better. Where are you finding your quotes? I could use some myself!

    Trying to lose weight by starving yourself is like trying to get rid of weeds in a garden by not watering it.

    I like this, perfect analogy since I love to garden :smile:

    Eat to live, don't live to eat.

    Pain is weakness leaving the body.

    No pain no gain. (or loss however you wanna look at it :wink: )

    Instead of giving myself reasons why I can't, I give myself reasons why I can.

    No one is going to look after you, so you have to make sure you look after yourself.

    There's no point lying about what you ate or what exercise you did, you're only lying to yourself.

    I haven't read through all the posts so I'm sorry if these are repeats but here are some that I like -

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

    "Don't be upset by the results you didn't get with the work you didn't do"

    "If you're sick of starting over, you have to stop quitting"

    "Work hard in silence and let success make the noise"

    That's deep! I love it. I'm going to steal it if that's okay LOL

    believe in yourself, that is the most important thing, you can do this. Get plenty of support. All my mates come to the gym classes with me and we all support each other x
