Quotes - Managing perfect body weight is not a complicated rocket science
“You
only get one body; it is the temple of your soul. Even God is willing to dwell
there. If you truly treat your body like a temple, it will serve you well for
decades. If you abuse it you must be prepared for poor health and a lack of
energy.”

“Standing
at the edge of my fears
And
contemplating them
Is
a healthy exercise.
The
extent of the boundaries
Of
who I believe myself to be.
What
is in question as I stand
Safely
at the border of myself
And
think of leaping
Or
continuing on?
What
happens when I walk
To
the extent of "I"
And
then keep walking?
Who
am I then?”

“Mum
had a Charles-and-Diana wedding mug that had survived longer than the marriage
itself. Mum had worshipped Princess Di and frequently lamented her passing.
"Gone," she would say, shaking her head in disbelief. "Just like
that. All that exercise for nothing." Diana-worship was the nearest thing
Mum had to a religion.”

“Exercise
- ugh - never one of my favorite things. It wasn't that I was endearingly
clumsy like the girl in one of my favorite romance novels, nor was I
particularly athletic, either. I suppose, if the truth be told, I was just
plain lazy. I had never been attracted to the idea of purposely sweating.
