Which "QUOTE" has helped you in this journey?

Excellent thread - needed today as am sat at desk counting down til 5:30 thinking, 'can I be bothered to go to the gym for weights after work'.

If not now, when?!?! awesome - as looking at my diary and rest of exercise plan I cannot fit in a sensible weights day this week apart from tonight!

I've avoided hunger pangs my WHOLE LIFE. Like I'm sure I'm dying if my stomach growls. No wonder I've battled my weight forever. So when I read "Become friends with hunger every now and then" on the maintenance boards (I wish I could credit whomever said that) it resonated with me and has really helped me!

I have to lose around 80 lbs. When I used to think about losing it was frustrating. But I saw a quote in my kid's school " THE JOURNEY OF 1000 KILOMETERS STARTS FROM THE FIRST STEP". This quote is an eyeopening one for me.

"Don't get too hung up on trying to look good naked. I've been there and it's a dark dark place."

It's not that you got knocked down, it's whether you get back up.

Let your body process your food, rather than pay. factory to do it for you.

If the problem isn't hunger, the solution isn't food.

Pain is temporary. Pride is forever.

Of course it's hard. If it was easy, everybody would do it. The hard is what makes it great.

She wins who eats the most and loses.

Never give up... Never! NEVER! NEVER!!!
