Motivational/Inspirational Quotes



Recommended Posts

I thought I would start a new thread consisting of inspirational quotes..... I've been collecting several over the last few months, and I read them often. Please feel free to add any that you have read that you might be willing to share. Quote for today....

NEVER EVER GIVE UP. YOU ARE STRONGER AND MUCH MORE AMAZING THAN YOU THINK.

"It's easy to grin

When your ship comes in

And you've got the stock market beat.

But the man worthwhile,

Is the man who can smile,

When his shorts are too tight in the seat"

Sorry all...just being silly today. ..and for the younger crowd who don't recognize it, this is a quote from the greatest golf movie ever made...Caddyshack.

I have two. The first one is from an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Don't you judge me! It's my guilty pleasure. I think about this first one when I'm at the gym and I'm the fattest person there.
"The ability to grow is directly related to the amount of insecurity you can take in your life. Basically, stepping out and doing things you're not secure with. But when you get out the other side, you'll be a better person. " --Bruce Jenner.

The second quote is one I saw on this forum. I'm ad libbing a little bit because I can't find the oringinal quote.

"That band isn't gonna jump up out of your abdomen and smack that cookie out of your hand."

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
