    Thanks for posting these! Last night I printed a bunch of these off and taped them to my mirror, treadmill, and up in the pantry. There's one taped to the sugar canister in the cupboard. I can already tell this is going to be a huge help for me.

    Here's another one that I was thinking about on the treadmill this morning, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

    Only One Pound

    Hello, do you know me?
    If you don't, you should. I'm a pound of fat,
    And I'm the HAPPIEST pound of fat that you would ever want to meet.
    Want to know why?
    It's because no one ever wants to lose me;
    I'm ONLY ONE POUND, just a pound!
    Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds, or fifteen pounds, but never only one.
    So I just stick around and happily keep you fat.
    Then I add to myself, ever so slyly, so that you never seem to notice it.
    That is, until I've grown to ten, twenty, thirty or even more pounds in weight.
    Yes, it's fun being ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT, left to do as I please.
    So, when you weigh in, keep right on saying, "Oh, I only lost one pound."
    For you see, if you do this, you'll encourage others to keep me around because they'll think I'm not worth losing.
    And, I love being around you - your arms, your legs, your chin, your hips and every part of you.
    Happy Days!!!
    After all, I'm ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT!!!

    When you feel like giving up, remember why you started in the first place.

    It helps me get back to that place of desire, drive and motivation almost instantly.

    "Your body will get really mad at you when you try to lose weight."

    From http://www.cracked.com/article_18611_the-10-most-important-things-they-didnt-teach-you-in-school_p2.html
    Health: Why Losing Weight Requires Some Amount of Suffering

    I think it helped drive the point home that there are no comfy shortcuts. Your body tries to screw with your mind and trick you into losing focus. I try to keep this in mind and remember that if I learn to suffer through the "pain" and temptations, that I'll be rewarded.

    And so far, it's been proving to be pretty true!

    I always use one of my dads phrases

    " keep on attacking, never capitulate"

    Basically never give in. When I mess up in some way repeating this gets me back on track.

    I found something that helps when I start running out of steam on a long run: "When I get tired, I stop being tired and start being AWESOME. True story."

    As soon as I tell myself that I crack up and feel a lot better! :D

    "Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles; it empties today of its strength."
    Author unknown


    Someone will always be prettier.
    They will always be smarter.
    Their house will be bigger.
    They will drive a better car.
    Their children will do better in school.
    And their husband will fix more things around the house.
    So let it go,
    and love you and your circumstances.
    Think about it.
    The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart.
    And the most highly favored
    Woman on your job may be unable to have children.
    And the richest woman you know,
    she's got the car, the house, the clothes....might be lonely.
    And the word says if "I have not Love, I am nothing."
    So, again, love you.
    Love who you are.
    Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say
    "I am too blessed to be stressed and too anointed to be disappointed!"
    "Winners make things happen.
    Losers let things happen."
    "To the world you might be one person,
    but to one person you just might be the world".
