Here's a few good ones I found on a weight loss forum:

1. You've come to far in life to take orders from a cookie
2. Don't give up what you want most for something you want at the moment.
3. Eat to live, but don't live to eat
4. If it was easy, everyone would be thin
5. I'm not there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday
6. Nothing tastes as good as thin feels
7. Be like a postage stamp...stick with it until you get there
8. The difficulties and struggles of today are but the price we must pay for the accomplishments and victories of tomorrow
9. Craving is only a feeling
10. Sacrifice is giving up something good for something better
11. The secret of success is the consistency to pursue.
12. A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips!

Hi all. I agree that the mental part is the hardest for me. I'm very judgmental about myself and compare myself to others. not ht God intended for me to do. Hope to find some positive thoughts here and cheer on others. I read a post yesterday where the person said something like, if you were to hear me talk about another person the way you talk about yourself, you would slap me. Good point.

I am working out regularly. Need to work on good food choices ( I do take orders from the cookie).

It's amazing how we often treat ourselves so much worse than we would treat a friend or even a complete stranger. We often times are our own worst enemy. I totally understand where you are coming from.

I'm trying to look at myself like this:
I believe that we are all God's children. I am His child. And it's important to take care of His child as if I am a child that has been left in my care. What would I feed a child that has been left for me to take care of? Would I give that child a bunch of junk food or unhealthy stuff? Probably not. I would try and feed her healthy things to make her grow up strong.

And I pretend that my thoughts to myself are all words spoken out loud to that same child left in my care. If I wouldn't say it to her, I shouldn't say it to myself.
