Got any good quotes on post-its or in your head to motivate, encourage, or inspire you on this road?

I found this the other day when I noticed I haven’t been losing much but gaining.

Some other ones I have on my phone

I ❤ that " Dear Body" letter- I believe many of us could have composed exactly that!

Another good one for all of us in the transformation stage:

These are some of the motivational quotes I like:

• If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you.
• The Struggle You Are In Today Is Developing The Strength You Need for Tomorrow
• The Road May Be Bumpy But Stay Committed To The Process
• If You Are Tired Of Starting Over, Stop Giving Up
• Be The Best Version Of You
• Success Is The Sum Of Small Efforts, Repeated Day In And Day Out
• Do what you don’t want to do to get what you want to get.
• Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak.
• We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.
