Found this and HAD to post it!!


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 want to 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."
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 part of you.
Happy Days!!!
After all, I'm ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT!!!

    You are most welcome! I never looked at it that way but now i will never look at 1 pound as "only one pound" cause 1 pound doubles to 2 pounds then 4, 8 and so on!!
  • Ha...so true, love the post:)

    That is so true...we need to congratulate ourselves with whatever loss we have and when you think about all the work it takes to lose that 'one pound', it will be just that much more special...I loved that...I get happy over ounces... at the end of the day, it all adds up! That was great, thanks!:wink:
