I found this clever, weight loss poem.  It reminded me of why it's so important to stay motivated when you are trying to lose weight.  It's so easy to get discouraged and give up, but if you know what motivates you than you will succeed.  Each of these little phrases help keep me motivated.  What motivates you?
