This is a very important step for me. I let the past be the past. I try not to dwell on the mistakes I've made, because those kinds of thoughts only bring me down. I wake up every day with the thought that this is a new day. That today I am going to eat well, I am going to exercise, and I'm going to focus on being healthy and happy.","author":"Stephen Cremen","tags":["health","motivation","self-esteem","weight-loss","weight-management"],"id":9582,"author_id":"Stephen+Cremen"},{"text":"While your ego is always trying to figure out its place in the world, your true self knows that your place is always right here, right now.","author":"Elaine Moran","tags":["body-image","diet","fitness","health","inspiration","inspirational","mind-body-spirit","motivation","motivational","psychology","self-empowerment","self-help","self-image","self-improvement","weight-loss","weight-loss-self-help","weight-management","wellness"],"id":14824,"author_id":"Elaine+Moran"},{"text":"We can only bring about change in our lives when we clearly see two truths: that the pain of remaining the same is greater than the pain of fighting our toughest battles, and that by taking the biggest risks, we gain the most valuable rewards.","author":"Elaine Moran","tags":["body image","diet","fitness","health","inspiration","inspirational","mind-body-spirit","motivation","motivational","psychology","self-empowerment","self-help","self-image","self-improvement","weight-loss","weight-loss-self-help","weight-management","wellness"],"id":24306,"author_id":"Elaine+Moran"},{"text":"Break the rules and make up your own rules.","author":"Elle Meyer","tags":["diet","healthy living","inspirational","weight management"],"id":27768,"author_id":"Elle+Meyer"},{"text":"Strong emotional feelings don't just go away overnight. In fact, they may never go away. The fears of feeling disliked, or that I wasn't going to fit in, all quickly bubbled up to the surface. But it was the choices I made when I was faced with challenges that really mattered. I had to continually tell myself that I was always in control. If someone was pressuring me to do something that I knew was not good for me, I had the power to simply say no. No one can ever take that power away from me. If someone was upset or didn't like me for saying no, that was someone that I really didn't need in my life.","author":"Stephen Cremen","tags":["self-worth","weight","weight-loss","weight-management"],"id":54577,"author_id":"Stephen+Cremen"},{"text":"We may not be able to control life’s circumstances, but we always have a choice about how we use our minds to respond to them.","author":"Elaine Moran","tags":["body image","diet","fitness","health","inspiration","inspirational","mind-body-spirit","motivation","motivational","psychology","self-empowerment","self-help","self-image","self-improvement","weight-loss","weight-loss-self-help","weight-management","wellness"],"id":61425,"author_id":"Elaine+Moran"},{"text":"If you aren't losing weight, and you know you need to (you know), then you gotta go look in the mirror.

That's fine. It's still one step forward.","author":"Shannon Sorrels","tags":["health","weight","weight loss","weight management"],"id":92838,"author_id":"Shannon+Sorrels"},{"text":"When they cut me open, I want them to say, “Damn!
