    These are all great :) another one i like is by Katherine Hepburn and the quote is "Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting and you don't do that by sitting around!"
    i love that one!

    Your past does not equal, nor does it dictate, your future.

    If you're tired of starting over, stop giving up.

    That's the quote on my page & it's so basic, but so, SO true.

    The one that seems to inspire me most when I'm really craving bad food is "Food doesn't taste as good as skinny feels."

    Exercise isn't pain. Pain is looking in the mirror and hating what you see.

    If it's important, you'll find a way. If it's not, you'll find an excuse.

    Mine is actually a thought I had several years ago when I was feeling incredibly sorry for myself because my life hadn't turned out the way I had expected. I thought it was so important, I typed it up, printed it out, and put it in a little magnetic frame on my fridge where it still hangs:

    "You are equipped with everything you need to be the person you want to be." :o)

    You can't make foot prints in the sands of time by sitting on your butt. And who wants to leave butt prints in the sands of time?

    Ooh I like that one!

    Here's some more I like:

    "You don't always get what you wish for, but you get what you work for."

    "I'm not LOSING weight. I'm getting RID of it. I have no intention of finding it again."

    "There is no such thing as failure, only delayed success."

    “The greatest battle is not physical but psychological. The demons telling us to give up when we push ourselves to the limit, cannot be silenced for good. They must always be answered by the dignity that simply refuses to give in: Courage. We all suffer. Keep going.”

    One of my favs:

    Failure is NOT an option!
