Funny Weight Loss Inspiration Quotes

Anyone who's ever tried to lose weight feels for you.  It doesn't matter if it's two kilos or 15.  While we can agree that eating healthy and exercising feels great most of the time, somehow it makes us want everything we know we shouldn't eat even more, which makes us feel sad and angry at the same time.  Ugh!  Why can't pizza and ice cream be low-calorie?!  Grab a carrot, pretend it's chocolate, and read these quotes — they might make you feel better.
