    That I everthing I do now needs to be practice for a continuing lifestyle including what/how I eat, how active I am and how I keep track of my progress.

    You are ONLY competing against yourself: a competition that you take one step at a time for the rest of your life.

    That "eat to live, not live to eat" one gets under my skin for some reason, and not in the good way.

    Mine is: Do what works for you, not what everyone else thinks should work for you.

    Love it!

    Mine is: Portion control matters, like it or not :happy:

    You only fail when you stop trying.

    Oh and remember, it's a LIFEstyle change and life is never perfect.

    I can do it, I am in control, I am not the exception to the rule, it is not hormonal, I am not big boned and if I eat less than I burn I will lose....period.

    I don't have to feel hungry or deprived in order to lose weight.

    That was a big eye-opener for me. All previous diets had been VLCD - more a punishment for getting fat than a solution. (Damn the 80's!!!)
