Wikipedia partially defines mantra as "word or phonemes, or group of words believed by practitioners to have psychological and spiritual powers"

Here is mine which I believe has greatly helped me melt 35lbs away in the last 136 days. I take a deep breath and repeat it every morning, before every meal, and right before bed.

"It's better to feel fit and thin, than full and fat"

I am learning to like myself again :# ...

    Whenever I work out, especially by myself, I always hate that third set/round...that's when I start to get tired and I always always want to quit. In order to combat my quitter's attitude, I always tell myself, the first set is just a test, the second set is a warm up. The third set is the one that changes you. So whenever I get pooped, I always think, if I don't do at least that third set, I'm wasting my time, because I'll never change if I don't go through with it.

    I don't really have a mantra. There are so many good sayings out there. I have a note on my computer that says "A goal without a plan is only a wish." So I guess, that is what I am using today.

    However, I did hear of some model's mantra (around 10 years ago or so). I believe it was "Food never taste as good as skinny feels." I remember she got some backlash for that when she said it. But, for me, it has actually worked when tempted by sweets at the office or at events.

    From Hungry for Change on Netflix, "I accept myself, unconditionally, right now." It has helped me with my self-love so much. I also have on my phone's lock screen a post from a vegan weightlifter, "Prove them Wrong" ^_^

    Exercise- Just do it.
    Drinking- One day at a time.
    Eating- You really don't want to have to lose this weight yet again, do you??

    Agree 100%. I had to get below my walking around weight for an athletic competition recently so any "cheats or treats" were out for a little while. The moment the event was over teammates and I became gluttonous with sugary junk. It really wasn't as great as I thought it would be in my head. I realized I can never go back to being fat. Nothing I have sampled on this planet makes me feel the way I feel right now.
