Just 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!!!


Just think ladies....many of us have lost at least 3 pounds so far......even 5. See what 5 pounds of fat looks like? Just think, each and every ounce is leading you to a better body. It is easy to get discouraged, but get over it, and get on with it. The time is going to pass anyways, might as well be getting rid of that nasty fat in the meantime, eh???

What a gross, yet oddly motivating visual.
And 5 pounds of muscle is about a fourth of that size.
Next time you are on the treadmill and your throat is burning an your muscles screaming, just imagine that big pile of fat just melting away.
