Weight Loss Quotes

Weight loss occurs in the mind before it occurs in the body.  You must change the way you think in order for your actions to follow.  One method I use to purify and focus my thoughts is reading motivational quotes.  Below are some of my favorites.  Enjoy.

Weight Loss Quotes

Weight Loss Quotes: Quote #16

“Right actions in the future are the best apologies for bad actions in the past” – Tyron Edwards

• It’s Monday and you had a terrible weight loss weekend.  You ate poorly and you did not exercise.  Unless you call a 3 minute search for the remote control, exercise.  Forget about it!  Don’t sulk or get depressed.  It is in the past.  Focus on doing the right thing for the rest of the week.  That’s the best way to erase your past mistakes.
  

Weight Loss Quotes: Quote #15

“Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power” – William James

• Positive thinking is essential to success in life and weight loss.  You will not have positive actions without first having positive thoughts.  So, know that you can and will lose weight.  Imagine how you will feel and look once you achieve your goal.  Be optimistic and you can accomplish all things.

Weight Loss Quotes: Quote #14

“Time is what we want most, but what we use worst” – William Penn

• One of the weight loss excuses I hear most frequently is: “I don’t have the time.”  Everyone always says that if they had more time, they would be able to get more done including lose weight.  Instead of wishing there were 28 hours in a day, look at how you are spending the 24 you already have.  How efficient are you being?  How many hours do you spend watching television?  How many hours do you so spend in front of your computer?  Use a log book to track your daily activities for a week.  You will be amazed at how much time you really have.

Weight Loss Quotes: Quote #13

“The dread of criticism is the death of genius.” – William Gilmore Simms

• You want to lose weight.  You have tried a million different times and failed and everyone knows it.  You are considering trying again, but you are afraid of what your doubters will say.  Don’t be.  When you attempt to do something difficult, many people will criticize the techniques or strategies you use.  They do this because what you are doing is difficult.  More than likely, you will fail and they will be right.  Forget them!  Do you!  The perfect weight loss strategy for you is out there, but you’ll only find it with educated experimentation.  Do not worry about your naysayers.  When you reach your goal, you’ll have the last laugh.

Weight Loss Quotes: Quote #12

“Your life is what your thoughts make it” – Marcus Aurelis

• Do you think that you can lose weight?  Do you really believe you can?  I hope you do, because you will not lose weight unless you truly believe you can.  Your thoughts will guide your actions.  So, before you start trying to lose weight, start believing that you can.

Weight Loss Quotes: Quote #11

“I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.” – Abraham Lincoln

• When it comes to weight loss, failure is inevitable.  You are human, so you are not perfect.  The key is to learn from your failures, so hopefully you don’t fail the same way twice.

Weight Loss Quotes: Quote #10

“Anger is a wind which blows out the lamp of the mind.” – Robert Ingersoll

• You have been trying to lose weight, but you have been unsuccessful.  You are angry at your body and at the world.  You are ready t give up.  Stop it!  Anger will only cloud your vision.  Now is not the time to get angry.  Now is the time to brainstorm.  Learn more about how to lose weight, try harder, or try different strategies.  But don’t get angry.  Nothing productive ever comes from anger.

Weight Loss Quotes: Quote #9

“Every noble work is at first impossible.” – Thomas Carlyle

• You have been overweight your entire life.  You have never been able to lose weight or keep it off.  For you, permanent weight loss is impossible.  Wrong!  I was you.  I was an overweight child, obese teen, and a morbidly obese adult.  I did the impossible and you can too.  Impossible is a very subjective term.  If I had described the iPhone to you twenty years ago, you would have said that was impossible also.

Weight Loss Quotes: Quote #8

“Nothing comes merely by thinking about it.” – John Wanamaker

• You are sitting there thinking that you want to lose weight.  Thinking about how nice it would be.  How healthy you would be.  How good you would look.  How happy your family would be if you lost some pounds.  How your life would change.  Stop thinking about it.  Get up and do something to get your weight loss started.  It’s not too late.

Weight Loss Quotes: Quote #7

“There is no failure except in no longer trying.” – Elbert Hubbard

• Losing weight is difficult.  It requires persistence and perseverance.  However, I cannot guarantee your success if you try to lose weight using the wrong methods or strategies.  But, I can guarantee your failure if you don’t try at all.

Weight Loss Quotes: Quote #6

“If you want to go east, don’t go west” – Ramakrishna

• You want to lose weight.  You want to get healthy.  You want a nice body.  Great!  But, what are you doing about it.  All of your thoughts and actions must reinforce your wants.  You cannot want to lose weight and go to McDonald’s everyday for breakfast.  You cannot want to lose weight and spend every night watching the Tonight Show when you should be sleeping.  There is a path to permanent weight loss.  If you want to lose weight get on the path.

Weight Loss Quotes: Quote #5

“A man can do what he ought to do; and when he says he cannot, it is because he will not.” – Johann Gottlieb Fichte

• People often tell me that they cannot lose weight.  But, the truth is that they can lose weight.  They just will not do the things necessary for them to lose weight permanently.  Your physiology is not as special as you believe it to be.  If you learn how to change your behaviors from bad to good, you will lose weight.  Are you willing to do that?  If the answer is no, fine.  Just do not say you cannot lose weight.  Simply say that you WILL NOT lose weight.

Weight Loss Quotes: Quote #4

“I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship.” – Louisa May Alcott

• There will be many hurdles in your way as you lose weight.  When you reach your weight goal, there will be even more hurdles in your way, trying to keep you from maintaining your weight loss.  Do not fear them.  They are inevitable.  You cannot control them.  However, you can and must control yourself.  The hurdles will always be there, you just have to learn to avoid them, jump over them, or run through them.  These hurdles may cause you to fall or fail.  The key is that you keep getting up.

Weight Loss Quotes: Quote #3

“It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.” – Confucius

• Weight loss is not a competition.  It doesn’t matter how long it takes for you to get to the finish line as long as you get there.  Actually, the slower you go, the more likely you are to get to your goal weight.  So, take your time.  There is no rush.  The true key is that you persevere, that you never give up, and you never stop moving towards your goal.  Speed is irrelevant.  Persistence is everything.

Weight Loss Quotes: Quote #2

“The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to it.” – Andrew Carnegie

• What is the best weight loss plan?  There is no best plan.  Every person is different.  The only method to discover your “best” plan is through trial and error.  However, in order to assess the effectiveness of the plan you choose, you must stick to one plan.  You have to give that plan your all for at least a month before you will know if it will work for you.  The best weight loss plan for you is out there.  You just have to find it and stick to it.

Weight Loss Quotes: Quote #1

“Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.” – Jean Jacques Rousseau

• Permanent weight loss is a slow and methodical process.  Permanent weight loss will not happen over night. However, when you reach your goal, you will feel great mentally, emotionally, and physically.  Be patient and persevere.
