I'm finding it hard this morning to find a quote that moves me enough to post for you all so we're gonna do something a lil different today...

I wanna hear your favorite motivational quote, inspirational saying, personal mantra, or words of wisdom. So start posting!

"my world is expanding as my butt is shrinking"

My mother is famous (infamous!) for saying:

"Change comes from inspiration or desperation....so, which one are you?"

I hated that phrase as a kid. Now I use it frequently.

Don't give up what you want the most for what you want in the moment.

Nothing taste as good as thin feels

I didn't have this surgery so I could eat what I want when I want. I had this surgery so I could be who I want!

you gotta be in it to win

“Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the

intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well

preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways,

chocolate in one hand, champagne in the other, body

thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming

“WOO HOO what a ride!”

"If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got"

The only hindrance to any person's success is that person's doubt!

One of my very favorites!

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal:it it is the courage to continue that counts". -Winston Churchill

I saw one on here or the OB board that I just love. I probably will mangle it a bit, but I think it's: "You don't drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there."

That is so helpful to me because it reminds me that I can fall off the wagon and climb back on. Now that I'm at goal with the rest of my life in front of me, maintenance is my biggest worry. The other night I dreamed that I thought I was 170 (I think my mind is still adjusting to the fact that my new normal is 135), but when I stepped on the scale ! was 20 lbs more, 190.

Now I can still remember pre-surgery when I was trying so hard to get under 200 and 190 was a dream I just couldn't achieve, but in this dream it was a nightmare!

I think the fears will settle with time. But in the meantime, instead of drowning, I'm gonna remember to stand up when I fall down!
