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 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 others to keep me around because they will 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!!!

i thought this was really cute.

after reading this i now look at 1 pound different. i use to get so upset if i only lost 1 pound. i dont think that will be an issue for me anymore.

Love it!!!!!!

This is going on the fridge at home and my office at work. I do not like one pound, I do not like it at all!!!

Perfect post...Thanks

i've been a slow loser so i've had to work for every single pound that i've lost... i'll take one pound lost over one pound gained any day!!

Great post! Very thought provoking. I am a slow loser and sometimes (albeit not often) I get frustrated with my progress. I am going to put it on my wall and read it daily. Time for me to be conscious of every SINGLE pound I lose -- and be grateful.

Thanks!

Thank you for sharing! I needed to read that...

I love it! Thank you for sharing:)

That was cute and really got me thinking about that "one pound"!!!

Cute!!! Simply cute!!!! I will see that "only one pound" so differently from now on. I needed that...banded almost 5 weeks ago...19 lbs down...seems like I'm at a stand-still...just starting working out again..so maybe I can kiss the "only one pound " GOOD-BYE!!! I got a few other pounds he can take with him. LOL

im glad everyone liked it, i had to read it again myself today
