The difference between want and need is self-control.
The pain of discipline is far less than the pain of regret.
Those who spend their lives dreaming never achieve their dreams.
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.
Nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels
Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired.
If it is important to you, you will find a way - if it is not you will find an excuse.
I never touch sugar, cheese, bread… I only like what I’m allowed to like. I’m beyond temptation. There is no weakness. When I see tons of food in the studio, for us and for everybody, for me it’s as if this stuff was made out of plastic. The idea doesn’t even enter my mind that a human being could put that into their mouth. I’m like the animals in the forest. They don’t touch what they cannot eat.
"Subdue your appetites, my dears, and you've conquered human nature." - Charles Dickens
Hunger is a feeling. Thin is a skill.
"You will not stop. The pain is necessary, especially the pain of hunger. It reassures you that you are strong, can withstand anything, that you are not a slave to your body, you don’t have to give in to its whining."
