Don’t Quit Trying To Lose Weight!
When you gain weight, as you sometimes will,
When the weight loss effort seems all uphill,
When the calories are low and the scale stays high,
And you want to smile, but you want to cry,
When depression pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have lost the weight had she stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow –
You may succeed with this effort.
Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering woman or man;
Often the straggler has given up
When you might have gotten the body you wanted;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close you were to your goal weight.
Weight Loss Success is failure turned inside out –
The silver tint in the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It might be near when it seems afar;
So stick to your weight loss goat when you’re hardest hit –
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
