    Nothing tastes as good as thin feels.

    Sorry, but that's utter rubbish.

    Yep, I can think of at least a dozen things off the top of my head, and I'm glad it's not an either/or.

    Same! I'd rather be fat than never have chocolate/cheesecake/ice cream/cheeseburgers/etc/etc/etc ever again. Yay, IIFYM!

    And that's why we lift!

    Eat like the person you want to be.


    This is helping me so much. See Future Me rocks around in gym leggings all the time, is proud of her body and the work that has got her there. Future Me smashes her workouts and pushes herself. Future Me enjoys eating in moderation, counting her calories, fueling her workouts because that's what got her to her goals. Future Me has no need to smother her emotions by binge eating. She knows she can eat treats or special meals and it doesnt derail her.

    I really dig Future Me, she's holding my hand through all this.

    I love this so much,

    Make sure that whatever changes you’re making you can sustain for the rest of your life

    1. Consistency is key.
    2. Only do what you can maintain as this is a lifelong journey.
    3. It is okay to eat foods that may be unhealthy in moderation.
    4. Measure yourself if you are not having victories with the scale.

    “Do something fun.”

    Used to be a 400m sprinter in high school but I hated the shin splints, the pressure of competitions, the last 100m of the sprint, and training in the heat. It messed up my attitude towards exercise my first two years in college.

    Now I do pilates and CrossFit. I swim and spin for fun sometimes. I’ve also tried and enjoyed ultimate frisbee, flag football, and Zumba. Doing something that’s fun for me actually makes it easier to workout more often.

    Also, CrossFit community is sooo supportive and trainers can work with complete, no fitness beginners. It’s amazing and motivating to see someone’s progress.

    Another good motivation quote
    Your "I can" is more important than your IQ

    Trust the process

    This is the one I am having the hardest time with now that I am in maintenance. I am afraid of getting into the yoyo cycles that ended in failure in the past, so I have still been eating at a slight deficit. People keep telling me to trust the process; the same discipline and attention that took the weight off will keep me stable. Easy to agree to; hard to put into action. The process worked to help me lose over 60 pounds and now I am worried that it might fail and let me gain some back. Why, I don't know...

    I trust the process. I just don't trust myself when I stop logging. :/

    2. You could either eat whatever you want, or wear whatever you want. You decide.
