What? You ONLY lost 1 pound????????
So many of us, myself included, have been disappointed by ONLY losing one pound.
Even though we didn’t gain and we didn’t just stay the same we are still disappointed, frustrated and even mad about ONLY one pound.
I came across this poem and HAD to share it here.
ONLY ONE POUND
Hello, do you know me?
If you don’t, you should. I’m a pound of fat.
And I’m the HAPPIEST pound of fat that you would ever meet.
Want to know why?
It’s because no one ever wants to lose me.
I’m ONLY ONE POUND, just a pound.
Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds, or fifteen pounds, but never only one.
So I just stick around and happily keep you fat.
Then I add to myself, ever so slyly, so that you never seem to notice it.
That is, until I’ve grown to ten, twenty, thirty or ever more pounds in weight.
Yes, it’s fun being ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT, left to do as I please.
So, when you weigh in, keep right on saying, “oh, I only lost one pound.”
For you see, if you do this, you’ll encourage others to keep me around because they’ll think I’m not worth losing.
And, I love being around you - your arms, your legs, your chin , your hips and every other part of you.
Happy Days!!!
After all, I’m ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT!!!
So lets all lose that one pound of fat and another one and another one and another one.
It really does only take one pound at a time.
Something we all need to remember I think.
Have a great night buddy slimmers
