Quotes from Ali Vincent

Stop seeing the obstacles you face as reasons why you can't do something. See them as a reason why you can. And celebrate your accomplishments on a daily basis.

Resistance is never the agent of change. You have to embrace the actions that are going to get you closer to your goal.

In order to truly give to others, you have to give to yourself first.

Chicken exits are self-sabotage. They give you a false explanation for why you don't have something you want.

When you have the courage to tell the truth about what you're really afraid of, fear doesn't have control over your life.

Big, sweeping life changes really boil down to small, everyday decisions.

Behind weight gain are the larger hurts and questions that have to be explored, probed, and understood before weight loss and maintenance is a possibility. It's a bigger issue than just calories in, calories out.

To think about your life is to create it. You have to take ownership of where you are right now and know where you want to go before you can get there. Keep collecting evidence for your success. You can believe it, and you can be it.

It gets a lot easier to deal with life's curveballs when you're not hiding under layers of fat.

Getting enough sleep can be just as important as working out.

When I was overweight and unhappy, I thought about being smaller, I thought about fitting into different clothes and feeling comfortable in any environment or social situation. But I didn't do anything about it. I was letting myself fall victim to not planning, not clarifying steps to reach my goals. Don't go on just wanting something. Start consciously planning where you want to be.

You just have to start putting one foot in front of the other, making an effort to get healthy every day.
