Diet Quote by Dan Hooker
“When you start with 'I'm going to go on a diet,' you get to like a couple of days in or a week in, two weeks in, and you get that voice in the back of your head going 'why are you doing this?' If you don't have a strong reason and a strong motivation for doing it, you quit obviously.”
