What is your mantra?

[Miss Meg 199]

I am finding it pretty difficult at the moment to say no to naughty yummy things in life - I think as it is getting cooler her in Australia, the comfort eating starts. Unfortunately, some of these bad foods are pretty band friendly and can get down no problem.

I need a new mantra to tell myself to help me make a better decision, something that is positive.. Any suggestions????

Think Kate Moss. Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.

Sometimes I try to redirect -- instead of letting my mind go to the familiar place of "what can I have" and visualizing the pantry, etc., I picture the scale and count down backwards from where I am to where I want to be. I outline those numbers in my head and by that time I have sort of tricked myself into a new place. Good luck, and enjoy your winter on the other side of the world!

when i start to feel down and envious of what other have or the way they look.... You know, Damn i wish i was pretty like her or have her body....

I remember..... Envy is the Thief of happiness.

#Bandista love your idea of visualising the scale moving down. Will definitely give that a try.

I know this feeling and what I do to kill the craving is eat 7 almonds and then drink a few cups of Water and the craving disappears.

[Keeper 218]

"perfection is not possible. Success is."

#'s on a scale, clothing tags, calories - whatever - they're feedback, not failures.

and my mantra this month, though it is not weight related is 'kindness matters,' but that can actually refer to our journey because we need to be just as kind to ourselves as we are for others.

My latest one: "I've come too far to take orders from a chocolate chip cookie!" (My personal nemesis).
