Great Quote

Hi everyone -

Found the Calorie Count site through the recipe analysis tool and signed up. Nice looking site!

Just wanted to share a great quote I read recently. It's perfect for everyone regardless of your size, shape, gender, race, or age:

"Dance in the body you have." - Agnes DeMille, choreographer

Anyone else have a quote that inspires you?

That is a great quote!

My favorite quote is  "You can't get a rainbow without a cloud and a thunderstorm and your rainbow is just above the horizon". 

 Author unknown.

Our bodies communicate to us clearly and specifically, if we are willing to listen to them. Shakti Gawain

The true believer is rewarded in every thing, even in affliction.

The quote I try to keep top of mind when it comes to working out what to eat is from Michael Pollan's lovely book 'In Defense of Food'

"Eat food.  Not too much.  Mostly plants"

"Why compare yourself with others? No one in the entire world can do a better job of being you than you."

That is a great quote, thanks for sharing.  I like to have these little motivational tidbits all over the place :).  Here's what I am looking at today..

My employer posts a daily quote on our intranet homepage at work... today's is pretty fitting for this site:

“You can learn from people, and educate others, but the only one you can change is yourself.”
-Dan D. Limon

My desk calendar also has quotes.  Here's January:

"Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right."
-Henry Ford

a little more hardcore than the others, but when im lifting i remember this one:

"you are born weak and you die weak, what you do in between is your decision"

also, i like:

"eat to live, not live to eat"

Theodor Geisel has three great quotes:

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." 

"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams."

"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."

-- Dr. Seuss

I heard this one recently

"Thin feels better than food tastes"

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.  -- Miss Piggy
