BEST QUOTE FOR YOUR SUCCESS?

Pain is a future down payment to the future reward that is coming.

this is my motivation

Don't let one bad day turn into one bad week.

"Baby steps!" from the Bill Murray movie, "What About Bob?"

Variations of: "Don't let the Good be overshadowed by the Perfect."

"Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better."

Best wishes!

What is that one quote or picture that gets your through those rough times?

The one I repeat to myself is "One day at a time".

"Don't Mess With The Success"

Yes God Can! I began my real journey a month and a half ago and have lost about 20 pounds. It's the first time in my life where I actually followed and calculated weight loss. I'm taking this seriously due to the health issue of ATRIAL FIBULATION (I have a group started for those who may be interested).

A steady loss of 1.5 pounds a week and a lifestyle change. But it isn't easy because I do LOVE eating. So when I get the urge, I remember that it's one day at a time.

I believe God sent me to MFP. Before this I dreaded calculating food intake. It was a hassle and a half! But MFP has made it SO easy AND I can see the daily success as I stay within range! Even made it through Thanksgiving without gaining weight! (In fact I lost a pound!)

But the temptation is always to say: well, I deserve a treat since I've lost some weight. And that treat growing up has always been food (thanks, Mom..ugh!)

So now my treat is to get a new clothing item, or to get some taken in, or a pat on the hiney from hubby, lol!

But the main thing is to remember DON'T MESS WITH THE SUCCESS!

Its too easy to give into temptation and regain! Gotten this far--- don't mess it up!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

From my fridge magnet:
Self-respect is the fruit of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.

also, " a year ago you will have wished you had started today"

This is the one I came in here to post, it kicked my *kitten* the first time I read it because, coincidentally, the first time I read it was almost exactly a year after my last big 'diet attempt' (which I failed, and then went on to gain 40lbs in 6 months afterwards). It really hit me hard because I realized, if I'd stuck to my plan instead of giving up, the day I first read that quote, rather than being 40lbs heavier than a year prior, I could have been 40lbs (or more) LIGHTER! It made me determined not to be disappointed in myself a year from now.

Another one I love, more for self-love than anything: "Love yourself, accept yourself, forgive yourself, and be good to yourself, because without you, the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things."

I have two:

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.
The ability to get up after a defeat is far more admirable than the ability to never lose.

This is disordered thinking. Since your profile says you are recovering from anorexia, I urge you to back away from this.

I've spent the day thinking about your reply to my little quip. Thank you for your concern, but It was not meant to be literal. It was meant to be funny. An old friend told me that little ditty years ago, and it still makes me laugh. This whole weight loss thing would be pretty dismal if you couldn't laugh about it a little bit.
