As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world~that is the myth of the "atomic age"~as in being able to remake ourselves.
--Mahatma Gandhi

    LOVE IT!
    I originally heard this one at a public speaking seminar with Stephen Lewis. He quoted it and it caught my attention.

    I bought a food diary to help me log foods. I've tried a few diaries and found an easy one to use 'food diary and exercise log by dr Joseph Reece'. The calorie counting diaries was a bit tricky to work out when being out and about so I used this one to quickly log foods.

    It has motivational quotes at the top of each page which is fun and keeps you going But everyone has different uses :)

    I find it helps me keep ontop of foods and I highlight junk food so I can flick through to see what I have eaten that's bad. The less highlighter I see, the better :)

    the quote is missatributed to Ghandi, it's actually by Prof. Michael N. Nagler in his foreword to the biography Gandhi the Man (1978) by Eknath Easwaran
