A good quote to live by !!!

taunto

our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate but that we are powerful beyond measure.

This is terrific - thanks for sharing. Fear of success holds a lot of people back (myself included).

Heres the full version of that quote

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others

I guess I should have put a disclaimer with my quote huh...? lol jk love ur quote too

I love that quote! I also love "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!":happy:

Both quotes are anorexic mottos.
I don't support either.
I will live to eat AND eat to live. They're not mutually exclusive. I will enjoy my food as it nourishes me.
Cake tastes pretty damn good. So does sushi. Skinny feels different for every person, it's not an automatic happiness ticket.

Agree with this. I had steak and ice cream for dinner (14 oz. of top sirloin and 1.5 servings of Ben and Jerry's Mint Cookie ice cream). I am in very good shape (although not very modest), and still enjoy delicious foods regularly. You can eat whatever you want... you just can't eat however much you want of whatever you want.

OTOH, I don't support using this mentality as an excuse for an unhealthy lifestyle.

Very nice. I am jealous of your ability to pull the fork away. However, not all of us are like that and for those of us who don't know when to say no, its quotes like these that keeps us going. For me atleast I know I can't say no after just 1 cookie. This is why I got to this point. My mindset should change and hopefully with time it would but till then, I am completely avoiding these delicacies because even the whiff of them makes me wanna dive in completely and next thing I know, I'm eating 6,000+ calories a day (my actual number of calories before I started paying attention).

tl;dr: One method don't work for everybody. Let them be happy NOT eating that small cup of icecream and try supporting them instead of saying "1 won't hurt" because they won't be stopping at just 1

I definitely won't begrudge someone doing things in a way that works for them. I always say that the diet/fitness regimen you can stick with and get results from is infinitely better than a "perfect" routine that you can't do either with

I have read some wonderful quotes on this post. Sadly, my quote will do nothing to add to the wonder. I did, however, find it amusing and felt compelled to share. Please don't read too much into it folks. I pass the following email excerpt on as was intended when forwarded to me, in light-hearted jest.

"For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies...

Japanese eat VERY LITTLE fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Aussies, British or Americans.

Mexicans eat A LOT of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Aussies, British or Americans.

Chinese drink VERY LITTLE red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Aussies, British or Americans.

Italians drinks A LOT of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Aussies, British or Americans.

Germans drink A LOT of beer and eat LOTS of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Aussies, British or Americans.

CONCLUSION:

Eat and drink whatever you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you "
