Diet Quotes

Something different rather than a story or a poem a few quotes to get you thinking about what is a diet and how it affects us.  Here are some words to mentally chew on.

"We are indeed much more than what we eat,

but what we eat can nevertheless help us

to be much more than what we are."

Adelle Davis.

"There comes a point when the diet stops being a diet

and becomes a way of life; no great hardship, believe me,

and I write as the greediest person I know." 

India Knight.

"To eat bread without hope

is still slowly to

Starve to death"

Pearl S Buck


"Everything is permissible,
but not everything is beneficial"
1Corthians 10:23 (NIV)

A new slant on Psalms 23 for the Dieter in us all.

This post is based on the most famous of Psalms.  Chapter 23.
It is for all of you who have struggled with weight and keeping it off.  Here is a light hearted look.

My diet is my shepherd, I shall be in want,
It makes me jog quielty round and round green pastures,
It lead me to quietly drink water,
And jump on and off the scales,
It guides me to reist all pleasurable food
For my figure's shape.

Even though I walk through the aisels of Sainbury's
I will buy no Bovril
For you are with me:
Your measuring tape and your calorie counter
They confuse me.

You prepare a table before me
In the presence of the TellyTubbies.
You cover my lettuce with low-fat mayonnaise,
My diet coke overflows.
Surely a rumbling stomach and a feeling of irritability will be with me
All the days of my slimming plan
And I will worry about my weight forever.

A thought for Queenland.

What can one say at a time like this, Fire in Western Australia with a cyclone knocking at the coast and floods in most of Queensland.  With the water heading south through North West NSW and finally some time later into the Murray river and into South Australia.  What a contrast, but this is summer in Australia.  It is more than that.

It's about communities bonding together and the rest of Australia getting behind their countrymen.  A time will come for rebuilding and replanting.  We will all be effected in some way. Through increase in prices, friends and family members too.

Let us keep them in our prayers and in our thoughts throughout this year.

Before I Eat

I found this amazing song on Godtube.com when browsing for something else I wanted to keep for New year or Christmas.  My next few post will be on diet, so I thought this one would be great to start them all off.

Here is a link to Anita Renfoe song about the things you need to think about before the next trip to the fridge.  Before I eat

I hope you enjoy this this light heated clip about a big issue of eating and exercising and the reasons why some people want to lose weight.
