Motivational sayings and/or affirmations.

Good onya! ' "greeting card" motivation' indeed! Hurrumph! LOL!
PS. We say arse in Aus. An Ass is a donkey :) I moved my arse a lot today. Hope you did too!
 
Whatever you're moving, it's a direct quote from "the Chronicles of Riddick"
Here's another one, by one of Batman's enemies, the Riddler!
(as portrayed by Jim Carrey)
Riddle me this,
Riddle me that,
Time to get rid of that nasty fat!
:smilielol5:
 
Food is my 'frenemy'
It makes me feel right.
But holidays & banquets
Leave me far from light.

No more excess I vow
As my New Year's resolution
I'm going back on Cohen's
That's my solution.

I want to feel good
About myself again
To be healthy and fit.
No more excuses
No going back.
This is it!

People are so worried about what they eat
between Christmas and the New Year,
but they really should be worried about what they eat
between the New Year and Christmas.​
 
Give something special this Christmas.
Give blood.
You may save the life
of someone you love :beating:​

"Those who think they have no time for healthy eating
will sooner or later have to find time for illness."​
 
Weight loss itself is not the goal.
Learning to eat healthy for the rest of our lives
is what the journey is all about.​
 
"The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree
is the presence of a happy family
all wrapped up in each other."
~ Burton Hillis​
 
"Today I bent the truth to be kind,
and I have no regret,
for I am far surer of what is kind
than I am of what is true."
~Robert Brault​
 
"Gluttony is an emotional escape,
a sign something is eating us."
~Peter De Vries

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight.
At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems.
You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life.
Losing weight is not a cure for life."
~Phillip C. McGraw.​

Affirmations- The more positive messages you send to yourself: the more you'll want to do what's needed to slim down. Your affirmations are to be in the present tense to give them a greater sense of power and immediacy. Don't use the future tense, because it creates an inner mind program which says that you are not ready now. The present tense, in contrast, affirms your readiness and willingness to reach your goal now.

Keep the affirmation positive with the emphasis on you at your goal now.
In order for Affirmations to work they must be reasonable, believable and acceptable to the conscious mind, lest the mind dismiss the affirmation as mere wishful thinking. The mind must hear an affirmation and really believe it could be true or become true.

Some examples-
"I'm losing weight now. I love the feeling of making progress. I'm becoming slim."
"My body is getting stronger, slimmer, and healthier every day."
"I am in control of my body and I am getting healthier every day."

Affirmations work & they work even better when you make up your own, believe that you can do it & then make them come true. :beating:

My affirmation for the next week-
"I am in control of my life & body & I am getting slimmer & healthier every day."
 
"The secret of health for both mind and body
is not to mourn for the past,
worry about the future,
or anticipate troubles,
but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly."
~ Buddha​
 
"Confidence is a habit that can be developed by acting as if
you already had the confidence you desire to have."
~Brian Tracy

Although these don't seem weight-loss related, believe me, they are for me. I value my friends highly :)

"A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?"
~Kahlil Gibran.

"Friendship doubles our joy and divides our grief."
~Swedish proverb

& I think this one is funny( I love my gardening!)-

"A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil--but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small silly presents every so often--just to save it from drying out completely."
~Pam Brown.
