“Feeling overwhelmed by the requirements of your diet Feeling deprived Feeling discouraged when you don’t lose weight consistently or lose as much weight as you had hoped Feeling stressed by other life problems”
― Judith S. Beck, quote from The Beck Diet Solution
“Choose a nutritious diet. Create time and energy for dieting. Plan what and when you’re going to eat. Seek support. Deal with disappointment. View overeating as a temporary problem that you can solve. Cope with hunger and cravings. Eliminate emotional eating. Give yourself credit.”
― Judith S. Beck, quote from The Beck Diet Solution
“You’ll get to the point where you react differently when you see food you know you shouldn’t eat.”
― Judith S. Beck, quote from The Beck Diet Solution
“Remember, the bread will be tempting, but I can resist it. It’s more important to me to lose weight. If I eat the bread, I’ll get momentary pleasure, but afterwards I’ll feel worse.”
― Judith S. Beck, quote from The Beck Diet Solution
“don’t start dieting until you’re psychologically ready, which might not be until two weeks from today.”
― Judith S. Beck, quote from The Beck Diet Solution
“need to read my Advantages Response Card at least twice a day if I want to resist temptation. It’ll take only a few seconds. It’s not a big deal. I might not need it psychologically today, but I’ll need it soon. I have to cement these reasons in my mind for when the going gets tough.”
― Judith S. Beck, quote from The Beck Diet Solution
“To lose weight, I’m going to have to train myself to do what I need to do, not what I feel like doing at the moment.”
― Judith S. Beck, quote from The Beck Diet Solution
“But I’m not naturally thin. I do struggle. I do deserve credit every single time I think about something in a helpful way or engage in helpful behavior.”
― Judith S. Beck, quote from The Beck Diet Solution
“What could be worse? Dying, and not being missed.”
― Louise Penny, quote from A Rule Against Murder
“Everyone thinks that. It’s one of those little secrets we keep from each other. Show me a serious man and I’ll show you a man who has never wept. Show me a madman and I’ll show you a man who dried his tears a long time ago. Go ahead.” “I”
― Ray Bradbury, quote from Bradbury Stories: 100 of His Most Celebrated Tales
“I think it was the one thing I didn’t like about him or about guys in general: when a girl says she doesn’t want to talk about it, the truth is that she usually does. I wanted him to pry it out of me. Of course, I would’ve pretended to be a little angry that he didn’t just leave me alone, but eventually I would’ve told him, when I was tired of pretending.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from The Mayfair Moon
“I can’t sit through this thing with you next to me flashing your man cave the whole time.”
― J.A. Redmerski, quote from Kindred
“People never believed of others what they couldn't imagine of themselves.”
― Meljean Brook, quote from Riveted
BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
