Share the best advice you've ever been given. It doesn't have to apply to weight loss, either.

Mine is "You have to stop believing other people's lies."

    I usually apply this one to all those people who criticize foods

    All you can do is work as hard as possible to see what YOUR body looks like when its powerfully fit and healthy. Not anyone else's. Make YOURS strong and find out what the ultimate YOU looks like walking around this planet. You cant be disappointed in that.

    Do not compare yourself (or your journey) to others. Getting inspired by others is great, but stay focused on your game, and it's a journey, not a sprint.

    If someone wants to give you a gift, accept it graciously- even if you throw it in the trash the moment they turn around.

    The only thing you have absolute control over is yourself. You may be able to influence others, but if they're not listening then you just have to let go and move on.

    My mother told me that you can't really ever focus/love/dedicate yourself to another without first doing it for yourself.

    She was right. :)

    'Never p*ss off your hairdresser.'

    Not as motivating as the rest but good advice nonetheless! Another would be 'Try before you buy.'
