Favorite Motivational Saying

I found this one the other day by Zig Zigler:

"Success is one thing you can't pay for. You buy it on the installment plan and make payments every day. "

You're never beaten until you admit it.

It's not whether you get knocked down; it's whether you get up.

Two of my favorites:

1) The only way out is through

2) From an old Indigo Girls song:

Now I know a refuge never grows

From a chin in a hand in a thoughtful pose

Gotta tend the earth if you want a rose.

<DT>I have always thought of this quote as my work related quote, but now I believe it's my "life quote"....</DT>

<DT><DT>"Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire." ~Reggie Leach <DT><DT>

It makes me remember that I have to work to get where I want to be - in all phases of my life.

Never Judge a book by it's cover.

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Happy moments, praise God.

Difficult moments, seek God.

Quiet moments, worship God.

Painful moments, trust God.

Every moment, thank God.

MY VERY ACTIVE DADDY DIED AT A YOUNG AGE, REALLY HIT ME HARD :think SINCE THEN I'VE LEARNED, NEVER TAKE LIFE FOR GRANT, LIVE LIKE NO TOMORROW :eek:

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, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!" <O:p</O:p

My favorite is on my sig. Be bold, true, stout-hearted, and brave. To me this means: Be bold in everything you try, true to everyone around you, stout-hearted so you don't give up, and brave enough to change.

It is something I made up a while back to engrave on a ring that I wear everyday...

"Just the Middles"

Taken from FlyLady. She talks about just vacuuming the middles of your carpet, don't worry about the corners and behind the sofa. You'll get to that. Don't get overwhelmed...just worry about the middles.

So I apply that to all kinds of things throughout my day. For weight loss, it's about being okay if it isn't perfect. The perfect day has 1200 calories, less than 130 carbs, less than 30 fats, more than 60 protiens (or whatever), I have exercised hard for an hour and my entire house is clean. Yah, right. Just the middles. It's OKAY!!!!!!

Life is a journey and too many of us are camping!

It's insanity to do something the same way over and over and expect a different result. (maybe A.Einstein?)

This confirms for me that the band was the way to go. I didn't need another try at diets, pills, ww groups, etc WITHOUT the proper TOOL!

Terry :eek:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
