I have several....Maya Angelou is one of my favorites

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

And Erma Bombeck

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything you gave me."

I love many many more, but those are most fitting.

I love all of these quotes! Can't pick my favorite, but here's another:

"We can't control what others do or say, but we can control our reaction to them." Author unknown

My mom is forever saying "this too shall pass"
and "that which does not kills us, makes us stronger"

Not really pertaining to weight loss but still good ones.

Well, I have some favorites too.

We are only limited by the reach of our dreams.

I worry all the time about what people say about me and rumors, etc. My dad always says "Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see."

Don't go trying to change yourself. God made you who you are. God doesn't make mistakes.(my late Grandpa)

Anything worth having takes work

And, taught to me by a local gastroenterologist, "The only diference in a rectal thermometer and an oral thermometer is the taste"
I know that is gross, but it is soooo funny.

Okay, I just got an email from an old friend. It was a bunch of one liners. It is long, but it is good. Enjoy.

The good Lord didn't create anything
without a purpose, but mosquitoes come close.

When you get to your wit's end, you'll find God lives there.

Opportunity may knock once, but temptation
bangs on your front door forever.

God Himself does not propose
to judge a man until he is dead. So why should you?

Be ye fishers of men. You catch them - He'll clean them.

Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous.

Don't put a question mark where God put a period.

Forbidden fruits create many jams.

God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

God loves everyone, but probably prefers
"fruits of the spirit" over "religious nuts!"

God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.

He who angers you, controls you!

If God is your Co-pilot - swap seats!

The task ahead of us is never as
great as the Power behind us.

The Will of God never takes you to
where the Grace of God will not protect you.

We don't change the message, the message changes us.

You can tell how big a person
is by what it takes to..........discourage him.

This one has little to do with weight loss but I remember Red Skelton saying "If we all stick together, we'll all be stuck"

I have a new "adopted" daughter in my life She's 32 and from Fiji --she's the one who took such wonderful care of my Dad -- I love her -- She is in the US all by herself with her little girl Grace -18 months -- Her husband is a Dr. on a goverment contract in Palau -- she really has no family here at all. I tell her she has a new American family and she's Stuck with us.
