Giveaway Winner and Motivation Monday

The winner of the Mary Lou Weigh Platform giveaway was Mary Beth Rogers!  Congrats!  I hope the weigh platform helps you achieve all your goals this year!!  

                 I heard this motivation quote at a Weight Watchers meeting.  The leader said it in one of the first ones I went to and it has been stuck in my head on repeat since then.  It is such a good reminder when faced with eating something you shouldn’t.  NOTHING tastes as good as thin feels.  Nothing that goes into your mouth will make you feel better than being thin and healthy will.  Nothing.  Once you remember that I think it gets a little bit easier to stay focused on doing what needs to be done to achieve your goals.

I love this quote as well. You actually have saved me because I heard this quote last week and forgot it before I wrote it down and I have been going insane trying to remember what the quote was. I also like this quote, I tell it to myself alot:

” I eat to live, I do not live to eat”

You don’t have to be thin to feel good :) And being thin doesn’t get rid of emotional problems that cause people to turn to food for comfort.

@FLG
VERY true. Very, very true. I completely agree with your view, but at the same time, I like this quote and the fact that it is basically a reminder of how your actions will affect your outcome. You could change “thin feels” with any goal, like “running a 5k” or something and the quote is still positive and useful as motivation. Its less about the specific words and more about the fact that nothing you eat will be as satisfying as reaching your goal.

That’s a great saying! And a good reminder when we’re tempted to eat something that falls into the “not so healthy” category. Thanks for the reminder!
