"Doing your best this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment."
-Oprah Winfrey-BELIEVING IN OURSELVES; THE WISDOM OF WOMEN
I think this means, you've got to do your best every moment, then the next moment will be easier. It's also important to remember, don't beat yourself up if one particular 'moment' doesn't go as you planned, move on and make the next moment better! We can do it!!!!

"It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end."
-Ursula K. LeGuin-BELIEVING IN OURSELVES; THE WIDSOM OF WOMEN
In my journey of weight loss this means I don't just have to lose the weight, I have to learn how I'm losing the weight. If I don't learn as I go then when I get there I won't know how to stay there. I really like this quote!! Good luck on your journey.....

"The most efective way to do it, is TO DO IT."
-Toni Cade Bambara -BELIEVING IN OURSELVES; THE WISDOM OF WOMEN
Since I've been on the WW program I have noticed that some people do this program and have great success and it by doing as they are taught by the leader and others that try to take shortcuts with the program and wonder why they aren't seeing the same results. I understand that everyone loses weight differently and at different rates. I've decided from the very beginning that I'm going to do this program right from the start, not try to reinvent it to fit my lifestyle and I've had great success so far. So, this quote to me means just do it the way it's suppose to be done. It's been proven time and time again that it works, you've just got to do it......

"The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."
-Dolly Parton -BELIEVING IN OURSELVES; THE WISDOM OF WOMEN
I've heard this quote a few times at my weekly WW meeting and I've always liked it. I think it's very true, this weight loss journey isn't always going to be easy but if the end result is a slimmer, healthier me then I'll go through the rough times to get there. It's all worth it!!!!

"I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within." -Lillian Smith
Wow, this is a little deep but I think it's a good message. To me this means in any journey you are on you should be learning from it. There is always something new to be learned, whether it be in weight loss or in every day life...we need to be learning from our journey. It's not always easy to know what the lesson is but if we're paying attention we'll figure it out eventually!

"...You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try." -Beverly Sills
This quote speaks for itself. All I can say is if you are trying something new or challenging then you already have won half the battle. If you fail you can at least say you tried and I think that's pretty cool!

"Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going." unknown
Here is another great quote that doesn't need much more said about it. Motivation is great to get you going but if you want things to change it's the habits that have to change that will keep that motivation alive.

"You only live once - but if you work it right, once is enough." -Joe E. Lewis
Just live each day the best you can and don't get hung up on your mistakes. We all have our bad days and make our bad choices, food or otherwise, but we've got to learn to move on. I like this quote, it applies to so much in life. Apply it however you would like!
