    It's a poem by Langston Hughes, but it's my favorite string of words ever put together.

    Motto

    I play it cool
    and dig all jive
    That's the reason
    I stay alive.
    My motto,
    As I live and learn,
    is:
    Dig and Be Dug
    In Return.

    For motivation, "What's it going to take to get me from where I am today, to where I want to be?"

    As for food choices, I paraphrase straight from the Bible. "Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial".

    "Be strong and courageous for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

    Love love love this verse. Had it up on the mirror in my bathroom when I was dealing with massive anxiety, so that I'd be reminded constantly. I used the full verse beginning with the "Have I not commanded you" part to remind me that this isn't just a suggestion on God's part. LOL

    This is my favorite quote too. I think Henry Ford beat Mary Kay Ash to it though.

    Also, "NEVER, NEVER, NEVER give up!" - Sir Winston Churchill

    For weight-loss, I've heard about a million quotes... the two that REALLY keep me going is "you didn't get this way overnight, it won't go away overnight" and "if running is difficult, run more".
