    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.

    "Somewhere in the world, someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win." - Tom Fleming

    "To be successful you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training, diet and mental approach." - Arnold Schwarzenegger

    "How you train is how you tackle life. Don't avoid discomfort; deal with it head-on to get stronger. Learn how to workout with passion and that fire will carry over to everything you do."

    "Success is the only option, failure is not."

    "I will fight for it. I will not give up. I will reach my goal. And absolutely nothing will stop me."

    "Eat Right Rule: If your food can go bad, it's good for you. If your food can't go bad, it's bad for you."

    "Train like your stronger fitter evil-twin is plotting to kill you."

    "If you don't step forward, you will always be in the same place."

    "I got 99 options but failure ain't one."

    What you eat in private, you will wear in public.

    "This is a goal I'm setting and I can reach it"

    "At some point in your life you have to face your fears and head in even though you can't be sure of the outcome. A great deal of people will never reach their dreams and it won't have anything to do with their ability or skill set. They won't reach their dreams because they were too afraid to try."

    "You must do the thing you think you cannot do"

    "right now, someone busier than you is running"

    This helped thru my plateu, "When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, til it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn".
    - and after a month at the same weight, I did not give up and stop dieting or exercising and after that very long month, bam, 3 lbs, and counting....

    "I will take care of myself"

    "I will beat the odds"

    "Transformation is not a future event, but a present activity"

    "Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not quite, the not yet, the not-at-all,. Do not let the hero in your soul perish. In the lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desire can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible and it is YOURS." - Ayn Rand

    "Dead last finish is better than did not finish which greatly beats did not start".

    "Clarify the vision, Simplify the path, Execute the plan".

    Best wishes on your journey!!

    This is on my wall, it is by an Indian poet called Kalidasa.

    look to this day for it is life, the very life of life
    in its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existance
    The bliss of growth
    The glory of action
    The splendor of beauty
    For yesterday is but a dream and tomorrow is only a vision
    But today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
    And every tomorrow a vision of hops
    Look well therefore to this day
    Such is the salutation to the dawn

    I also like

    God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
    The courage to change the things I can
    And the wisdom to know the difference

    That's always been one of my favorite quotes. I told my son this quote when he was in middle school and he always remembered it and often relied on it.
