I like this one, too, and need to work on this. Not just with weight loss, but with life in general.

"May your choices reflect your hopes and not your fears."
I've been tempted to go with "nothing tastes as good as thin feels," but it's a notorious quip among the pro-ana crowd and I just don't want to go there.
My cycling mantra is "it doesn't matter if you're slow, it just matters that you go at all." I think it works pretty well for food as well-- a reminder that one choice won't make or break my health, but every step counts.

This often helps me "It's only ___ minutes or hours until my next meal."
Giving me perspective that I will eat my next meal in __1__ hour, helps me. I can wait one hour to eat.
I usually make myself ice tea, hot tea or drink a glass of water and keep my hands busy doing something.
