David Goggins Quotes

I still have to work on my weight and some of my other demons.

My weight has been an emotional roller-coaster for me, and I am ready to get off it.

I was so self-critical. I still am, but it's not as bad anymore.

I don't think we have a right to enjoy our neuroses; in fact, I believe that we have a duty not to. But we cannot walk away from ourselves. Who else is there to become?

Being self-critical is good; being self-hating is destructive. There's a very fine line there somewhere, and I walk it carefully.

You know, after all these years, it's just like we are who we are and it's a struggle for me and sometimes I'm heavier and sometimes I'm thinner.

It's really hard to foster self-love; it really is. I think a lot of people who claim that they do have a definite lack of self-loathing are either lying or just in a place that I don't relate to.

Weight was a big thing for me to overcome.

Take your vitamins. Exercise. Just work to love yourself as much as you can - not more than the people around you but not so much less.

And I kind of said to myself if I get my voice back I'm not going to take back the old anxiety about it and just focus on the limitations. I'm really going to enjoy it.

I'm going to let myself off the hook, because if there's one thing that is not my focus at the moment, it's how much I weigh.

Well. I'm probably not loving myself like I should, but I'm really trying.

I can live with myself.

You can't please everybody. You'd be crazy if you're trying to. So take some time out to do some things for yourself.

Guilt can stop us from taking healthy care of ourselves.

We can still do good for others and do good for ourselves. I would wither and die, truthfully. I need to be somewhere where the light's on me.

I always feel like I'm so boring, but I don't get bored with me.

For so many years, I felt so insecure, so inferior, and I still have those moments, but I have a newfound confidence since I got in shape and changed my diet.

I only photograph myself at poignant moments in my life as a check of where I am and how large my thighs are.

I don't like talking about which bits I like or don't like about my body. Everybody has something they're not happy with, and my only advice would be, 'Do something about it - exercise or eat less, but don't do nothing!' Find ways to enhance the good bits and camouflage the bad bits.

I kind of learned that I am way too tough of a critic on myself and that other people are not judging me as harshly as I judge myself, so I need to give myself a break.

If I go on a diet and work out, I'm always in a bad mood. I'd rather be a little heavier but nice.

I think that there is a tragic misfit at the core of me, and I've just done a lot of work on myself. I love a good self-help book; I've read a ton of them. I love self-help seminars and therapy and all that.

I'm the type of person who can get a feel for what you need and what I need to do to push you to get you to a breaking point, where you realize that you can't go on this way anymore, that the reason you're heavy is because you're ignoring all the stuff that's going on inside.
