Dieting & Exercise Quotes . . .

[about2loseit]

OK, we all know that at times weight loss can be stressful, exhausting, etc. I'm beginning to understand that I am more successful when I do not dwell on my little failures. I'm slowly learning to pick myself up, dust myself off, and hop back in the saddle. Laugh at yourself a little and remember that you are human! You tripped and fell a little. OK. Learn from that. Don't beat yourself up - you'll only depress yourself into a backslide. Pick right up where you left off. Not tomorrow . . . not Monday . . . not the first of the month . . . RIGHT NOW! You're more likely to succeed the next time you come to this precipice.

All that being said, why don't you take a brief moment to have a laugh and put things in perspective? Hey, those little chuckles are bound to burn a few calories in the process.

I came across these comical (sometimes truthful) little quips and wanted to share them. Happy reading!
