in Motivation and Support
I just coined a new one for myself this morning:

"French fries tell LIES".

Fries are a big trigger food for me, and they DO tell me lies, such as "I am a vegetable" and "It doesn't count when you are at a restaurant". :noway:

What's your funny, inspiring, or sobering saying that u hold on to in times of temptation?

    I have so many, but my current favorites are:

    People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing. That’s why we recommend it daily. –Zig Ziglar

    There are no traffic jams along the extra mile. –Roger Staubach

    Whenever you see a successful person you only see the public glories, never the private sacrifices to reach them. ~Vaibhav Shah

    ETA:

    Remember to breathe! (myself during any run)

    I don't have a mantra, what I do is take off all of my clothes and look at myself in a full length mirror every morning and compare it to a before picture..I keep that ingrained in my head and that's what I look back to through the day.

    "You know what I do when it is raining outside, and I don't want it to rain? I let it rain."

    Don't fret about things over which you have absolutely no control.

    Moderation, moderation, moderation..

    Suck it up, b!+ch..

    You get what you get and you don't get upset

    Stop overstriding (I used to do that a lot walking and I have problems with shoulders, back, knees etc)

    Don't forget your headphones when you shovel snow
