Mine is..and I say it all the time..and write it a lot..is my all time motivation saying. specially when I standing in front of a cheese cake...lolol

"This Body Feels Better, Than (any) food Tastes"

I've noticed that almost everyone has the most beautiful sayings for their signatures in their thread boxes. I've even written some of them down and put them on my frig for additions motivation ..I'd like to hear some more, their just lovely and inspirational.

When I am in the gym working out I think to myself: "Building twisted steel and sex appeal!"

Other mantras include: "Attitude is everything" "This is my individual journey and I am finding my way" "I am growing and changing." "I make appropriate food choices based on my goals." "I am finding my own recovery."

Great topic!!!

Good one Trever..Building Steele..love it..not just my body, but my Will..lol

It is indeed in my signature and has been (and continues to be) an inspiration to me - "Persistence, along with absolute belief, can never be defeated." Some other favorites:

• "You're not ready until you're convinced."
• "It is of no use saying 'We're doing the best we can', success means doing what is necessary."
• "Change your thoughts and you change your world."
• "Think from the end."
• "Perfection is not a criteria for success."
• "It's not just about the weight you lose. It's about the life you gain."
• "Hold the vision and trust the process."

You guys have a great day!

This isn't exactly a mantra, but at 62 I know that I want my hubby and I to grow old together (ok really old!) and if I don't change my eating and exercise habits, my pre existing conditions will cut my life short. My hubby is diabetic and he needs to increase his exercise too. That is my motivation. In a nutshell,

USE IT OR LOSE IT!

Mine is tomorrow is a new day. It helps me to remember that I am not a failure. And that I am human and do make mistakes and that tomorrow I can start all over again.

Wow..I gotta go get my WLS journal and start writing these down..super!!!! The people on this site are truely wise & profound..please people add more!!..it does help!

Mine is, "Dee says... Her new body feels better than any food tastes!"

"Between a rock and a stream the stream always wins. Not through strength, but through perseverance. "

'It's not a sprint, it's a marathon'. In the short term there are successes both large and small but the battle doesn't end with them. I think the finish line- of the 'marathon' is the end of my life, not reaching a weight goal. I have to make the lifestyle changes I've already made permanent so I can live a long, healthy, happier, good quality life. I need to keep on going, not slow down or stop because I met my goal and risk it all. The point is to maintain a healthy weight and a healthy lifestyle to the end. To live. :-)
