Here's a thought...

"Never trade what you want most for what you want at the moment"

In this WLS journey I find there are temptations everywhere. Turn on the tv it's filled with never ending food commercials, driving there's food advertisements on bill boards or fast restaurants on every corner, celebrations with friends, family and co workers seem to all be centered around food (not fruit and veggies either).

With that said the thought provoking quote above have been very helpful in halting me from derailing all the great things I've put into play during my 6 months. By no means am I saying I'm perfect as I have my defeats like everyone else but it has definitely helped me take that extra time to say IS THIS TEMPORARY PLEASURE WORTH IT...nottttttttttt

That's an awesome quote. I think it'll also help me whenever I'm having a very strong craving for something that I shouldn't have. Thanks for sharing!

I have to agree with all of you. Awesome quote and one to be packed in our tool boxes.

The odd thing for me is, I've always been able to live by that motto in every aspect of my life except food. I studied in college when I wanted to party, I socked money away in my 401K when I wanted to spend it, etc. Why haven't I been able to think long term when it comes to feeding my body? I hope this tool (my sleeve) will help me learn to apply it to food.
