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!!!
