    Not that I am a huge Kennedy fan, but his quote from the moon speech as driven a lot of what I have done in my life, "... and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win..."

    I may not look exceptional to you. And that’s okay. It’s not about the FRAME I come in. It’s about whose NAME I come in: Jesus! -Dianna Hobbs-

    "Fat doesn't care"

    Not sure were I heard that but that has become my mantra... so when i'm tried I just remember fat doesn't care, if its cold out, fat doesn't care, if I partied a little to hard the night before, fat doesn't care, and it has proven to be an amazing motivator for me.

    Someone asked me how I manage to ride a bike 20 or more miles 7 days out of the week without fail... I told them that I close my eyes and see those I love; imagine where I want to be and what I deserve. It's wise to remember that your body is the most expensive thing you'll ever own, the only thing that's truly yours so don't mistreat it.......

    My 2 favorites:

    "I am aware that I am less than some people prefer me to be But most people are unaware that I am so much more than what they see"

    We're much more than we usually believe ourselves. This helps me want to prove to myself that I can do anything and pushes me out of my box.

    "At any given moment I have the power to say this is NOT how my story ends"

    This one actually helped me when ending my 20 year marriage but it can work for weight loss too. You can always choose to change your life.

    "Success requires backbone, not wishbone"

    "It's always too early to quit"

    "Never complain and never explain"

    "Do you choose to simply know the path, or do you choose to walk it?"

    "Discipline is remembering what you want"

    These are all within my vision while sitting at my desk at work.

    "Success is not a race, be patient."

    This quote has helped tremendously during the past two years. I have struggled quite a bit lately and I have to remind myself that this will take time, there is no need rush it.

    "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"

    At first I thought this was incredibly rude.... then I noticed the people I knew who agreed with this were the people who had bodies I envy. Maybe I needed to change my mindset to be where I want to be.
