[Guest guest]

This was on another board. I thought it was very insightful.

I'm only a 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

even 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. " (As if that

were such a terrible thing.)

For you see, if you do

this, you'll encourage

other 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 part of you.

Happy Days!!!!

After all, I'm

ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT!!!!!!!!!
