Motivational Quotes / Sayings...

Options
Years ago when I was fit / thin years ago - I used to have post it notes covering my desk that I no longer have.
(looking for both exercise / and not overeating motivation)

The ones I do know I like (or variations)

Nothing Tastes as Good as Thin/Fit Feels
You can throw in the towel – or wipe your sweat with it

Any others you use / know ??

Thanks

    It took more than a day to put it on. It will take more than a day to take it off.

    The sweat. The time. The devotion. It pays off!

    And my favorite: Sweat is fat crying!

    "Just do it, even if you suck"

    Is one of my favs. I tell this to myself often when I am doing a workout that I suck at. I suck at jogging and pushups, but I do it anyway!

    "Transformation is not a future event. It is a present activity. That is why you must bring everything you that have to give in every moment. It doesn't have to be perfect. It's not about perfect. It's about effort. If you bring that effort every single day, that's where transformation happens. That's how change occurs."

    "The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours -it is an amazing journey -and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins."


    "If you want to accomplish anything in life, you can't just sit back and hope it will happen, you have to make it happen" Chuck Norris

    A LITTLE MOTIVATION:

    Pain doesn’t tell you when you ought to stop. Pain is the little voice in your head that tries to hold you back because it knows if you continue, you will change! Don’t let it stop you from being who you can be. Exhaustion tells you when you ought to stop. You only reach your limit when you can go no further.

    I am not losing weight. IM GETTING RID OF IT! I have no intention of finding it again!

    Your biggest challenge isn’t someone else. It’s the ache in your lungs, the burning in your legs, and the voice inside you that yells “I CAN’T!!” But you do not listen. Your just push harder. Then you hear that voice fade away and start to whisper “I can…” That’s the moment you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are.

    Oh, here's another one...taken from Batman Begins:

    "Why do we fall Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up."

    Again, can be used in nearly every aspect of life :smile:

    Falling down is not defeat...Not getting up is.

    Fear is a reflex, confidence is a choice.

    Those who can't criticize those who can.

    No one is taller than the last man standing.

    Better to die of thirst than to drink from the cup of mediocrity.


    R u aware?
