    "use this in life in general but my this was the first words my trainer said to me when I said I Cant!:

    Invictus

    Out of the night that covers me,
    Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
    I thank whatever gods may be
    For my unconquerable soul.

    In the fell clutch of circumstance
    I have not winced nor cried aloud.
    Under the bludgeonings of chance
    My head is bloody, but unbowed.

    Beyond this place of wrath and tears
    Looms but the Horror of the shade,
    And yet the menace of the years
    Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

    It matters not how strait the gate,
    How charged with punishments the scroll.
    I am the master of my fate:
    I am the captain of my soul.
    William Ernest Henley

    Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. - Marianne Williamson

    Love this topic!

    I have a few:

    Your not going to get the butt you want by sitting on the one you have!

    Do NOT reward your self with food, you're not a dog.

    People who say it can not be done should not interrupt those who are doing it!

    And my favorite
         
    Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.

    Some great quotes posted here! This is my current favorite, and although it isn't specifically about health/weight-loss it really gets me fired up to reach my goals.

    This one is SO true! I saw it yesterday as someone's profile picture. I have to remind myself of this all the time!! Thanks for posting!!
    I don't know who said it but all day here is what I run through my mind:

    "A year from now you will have wished you started today"

    Every year on vacations, birthdays, holidays I resolve to not be heavy by the next year and then beat myself up when I am, so this helps me remember that feeling.

    I've always liked, "In order to change some things in your life, you need to change some things in your life." and Einstein's quote "It is the height of insanity to do the same things over and over again expecting different results.
