    You can't manage what you can't measure... so track things!

    Will this decision help future me reach my goals? (Usually when I'm about to eat some cheesy pasta when I'm tired or emotional, the answer is always no)

    Stop eating, woman, you're not hungry, you're tired.

    It will still be there later, it won't dissapear if you don't eat it now.

    Start as you mean to go on.

    In other words, if I know it's something I won't keep up with, I change it until it seems more likely that I will.

    I do not accept my physical limitations as the final word, I will find a way each day to work around them to become stronger and leaner.

    I have two:
    1. Where I am now is a result of yesterday's decisions; what choices do I want to make today for tomorrow?
    2. Believe I can, I will do this. There is no room in my thoughts for 'what if I can't?'

    Just because it's there doesn't mean I have to eat it.

    Hunger is my friend.

    Life is a beautiful ride, but you have to get on the bike! (or on the road, or in the pool, or at the gym, or at the disc golf course)

    The distance between dreams and reality is called discipline.

    "what will you regret more: exercising or not exercising?"

    have never regretted exercising :)

    EDIT: can also be applied to eating habits, etc. "will you regret eating the cake or not eating the cake?"

    I weigh daily.

    Each morning when I awaken, I lay there contemplating that I might see a gain on the scale. I say to myself, "Get up and face the truth". And then just do it.
