Day 150 - More Things to Ponder from The Boardies

Installment number 2 of inspiration and hilarity from the online boardies over at Weight Watcher's... A continuation of the wildly popular first post. Sit back and enjoy.

• Whether you think that you can or you can't, you are right. (Pat, a.k.a IslandDreamer)
• If you eat garbage you will feel like garbage. (Gusto31)
• You don't have to change your life; you just have to change your day. (ZeldaLaw)
• Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup. (Christine)
• If you're sick of starting over, you have to stop quitting. (NurseJulie74)
• A year from now, you will have wished you had started today. (Kristal)
• The 'pain' of being on-plan/sticking with it is nothing compared to how it feels to give up. (IrisMurasaki)
• If you waste energy on things you can't control, it only means you will be too worn out to deal with things you can. (Letty)

And last, but far from least, and one of the best things I have had to chew over mentally:

•  I go to work because I like my paycheck; if I went when I was motivated to do so, I would be fired by Wednesday. I follow Weight Watcher's (my healthy eating plan) because I like the results--the motivation comes and goes. On the days it's gone, the results speak for themselves. (QueenTrish)

Day 141 - Some Words That Inspire and Motivate Me... And Some That Just Make Me Laugh

First of all.... **e-hem**

Hi to all of my WW boardies!!! This one's dedicated to you!

Today's post is a wonderfully fun, thought provoking and "Get your butt in gear!" quotes and advice that are so freely given by the amazing group of boardies over at Weight Watcher's.

What is a boardie, you might ask? They are the Weight Watcher's members who comprise the online discussion boards, many of them only utilizing the online membership. The 'board' is where we have our 'meetings' if you will; where we discuss our struggles, ask for help, give advice and encouragement, share our successes and provide the sometimes needed kick in the backside when someone's being backwards. This community of support has been vital in my journey, they are a never ending resource.

What I've posted below are some of the advice, quotes, personal signatures and sayings that proliferate our time together on the board. Enjoy : )

• Anyone who says "Nothin' tastes as good as skinny feels" has never tasted bacon crackers. (Becca423)
• Eating well is not deprivation. Deprivation is being too large to do what you want to do. (PeekyBooBoo) 
• Don't Look back, you're not going that way. (Pat) 
• Thin is a lifestyle, not some arbitrary number on a scale. (Margie)
• If you don't eat all of your points you make Baby Jesus cry. (AmyApple)
• To live a healthy life is a gift, not a burden. (Kim)
• I am doing this. I am worth it. (Jillian)
• A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety. (Me... but originally Aesop)
• Sweat is just your fat crying. (Josie1005)
• Success depends on you backbone, not your wishbone. (HenryFigaro)
• If you eat a lot of fruit and gain weight, quit eating the pizza. (Steve)
• You can make virtually any dish low-calorie by eating less of it. (JMonty465)
• Would you beat a child for falling as he is just learning to walk? Well, what we are learning here is just as hard. (Bethhl)

And with that, dear readers, I bid you good day : )

For tomorrow: My yummy dinner. Featuring chicken, corn and focaccia! (and maybe another selected Boardie quote... we'll see!
