More quotes by Richard Simmons
I don't know about you, but every time some joker points me out as I walk through an airport wearing extra-small Dolfin shorts, a tank top and leg warmers, I get a little upset.
Richard Simmons
Stop trying to find something in food that will make you feel better. I used to have eating disorders I'd binge and purge all the time: fried oysters, po' boys, muffulettas, beignets, coffee and doughnuts. I tried to medicate myself with food when people made fun of me or hit me with a bat in school. I'd always turn to food.
Richard Simmons
I sort of think of myself as part priest, part clown.
Richard Simmons
When I go to bed, I ask God to give me one more day tomorrow. When I get it, I'm excited and grateful.
Richard Simmons
When I was growing up, I did not exercise at all. I was raised in the French Quarter in New Orleans. If I saw someone running, I would call the police because I thought they stole something on Royal Street.
Richard Simmons
For my workout, I'm up at 4 A.M. I say my prayers, count my blessings, and I work out right away. I just get it done.
Richard Simmons
When we're binging, we do not think about death. We just think about how good it tastes.
Richard Simmons
Truthfully, everyone knows how to eat right. They know the difference between oatmeal and a jelly cream doughnut. They know how to walk. Everyone has this in their brain. When I started, we didn't have all this knowledge. Forty years ago, I lost my weight, but only by watching what I was eating.
Richard Simmons
I'm not going to be happy until every child in every school is physically active.
Richard Simmons
I don't have a lot to offer one person. I have a lot to offer to a lot of people.
Richard Simmons
Right now many schools have no recess. Most schools have no PE.
Richard Simmons
Energy is that amazing feeling that comes to life inside of you when you're happy and believe in yourself.
Richard Simmons
Some people like to look at pictures of themselves before they lost weight. I don't particularly care for that. Whenever I was overweight, it was a very sad time in my life.
Richard Simmons
I started my own class for people like me who can't find any place else to go.
Richard Simmons
There is no such thing as sleep deprivation, there is only caffeine deficiency.
Richard Simmons
I give people permission to be kids again.
Richard Simmons
But if you pick up every other magazine, it is the peanut butter diet, or the cabbage soup diet, and then you go to the radio and you hear that you can drink some solution and you will lose weight overnight. It just does not work that way!
Richard Simmons
When I go to teach, that's not my workout. It's my show. I'm 134 pounds - I'm a teeny thing. I work out 11/2 hours a day and eat 1,600 calories. I can't stray because I have to fit into these Dolfin shorts!
Richard Simmons
I have 40 pounds to lose. It is not the fault of the fast food people, and anyone who's trying to sue the fast food places needs a therapist, not an attorney.
Richard Simmons
I get tired of negativity in our country. I get tired of people who only want to know dirt. I get tired of people who don't believe in themselves.
