That way whenever anyone needs a pick-me-up they can read this thread and hopefully keep striving for their goal......

Don't Quit

When you've eaten too much and you can't write it down,
And you feel like the biggest failure in town.
When you want to give up just because you gave in,
and forget all about being healthy and thin.
So What! You went over your grams a bit,
It's your next move that counts...So don't you quit!
It's a moment of truth, it's an attitude change.
It's learning the skills to get back in your range.
It's telling yourself, "You've done great up till now.
You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow."
It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal.
You're still gonna make it, just stay in control.
To stumble and fall is not a disgrace,
If you summon the will to get back in the race.
But, often the struggler's, when loosing their grip,
Just throw in the towel and continue to slip.
And learn too late when the damage is done,
that the race wasn't over...they still could have won.
Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow,
but facing each challenge will help you grow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
the silver tint in a cloud of doubt.
When you're pushing to the brink, just refuse to submit,
If you bite it, you write it....But don't you quit! :)

It's pretty spot on isn't it! I'm not sure who wrote it but I love it. I have heaps of them, I will post them on here every now and again, they might help inspire others like they do me!:)
 
"Gluttony is an emotional escape, a sign something is eating us."
-- Peter De Vries

"Life itself is the proper binge."
-- Julia Child

It comes down to a simple question: what do you want out of life, and what are you willing to do to get it?
 
I will smile at friend and foe alike and make every effort to find, in him or her, a quality to praise, now that I realize the deepest yearning of human nature is the craving to be appreciated.
 
" I Do The Best I Know How, The Very Best I Can ; And I Mean To Keep On Doing It To The End . If The End Brings Me Out All Right, What Is Said Against Me Will Not Amount To Anything . If The End Brings Me Out All Wrong , Ten Angels Swearing I Was Right Would Make No Difference."
 
" The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of knowledge , but rather a lack of will ."

That quote, and countless other similar ones, were copied from the essay "The Common Denominator of Success" by Albert E. N. Gray. The most famous quote from that essay:

“The common denominator of success --- the secret of success of every man who has ever been successful --- lies in the fact that he formed the habit of doing things that failures don't like to do.”
