You are such a motivating gal! Tell me, do reading these quotes really help you stay on track? I'm needing some extra help, but frankly can't find the motivation to not eat what I shouldn't. Don't worry, I'm eating all the stuff I should, too. :) --could this be a problem??? (Yah, I know.)
These are inspirational in a general sense, too. Thanks for taking the time to share these, Christie!
