I used to think "Oh no...I HAVE to exercise today to reach my weight goals" but when someone suggested I think of it as "I DESERVE to exercise today" it changed my whole perspective and for the first time in my life I began exercising regularly and loved it! That was 2 and a half years ago.
Today is your only chance to do it today. Today is the only chance you have to exercise today. Today is the only chance you have to eat right today. Today is your only chance to prevent regret at the end of the day for what was not done today.

I seem to do much better when I remind myself that I only have one chance to do the right thing today. I can never re-do today.
