No S is the greatest, or so I have heard.
All other diet plans are just plain absurd!
According to Reinhard (and he should well know)
The secret to reaching your goal is … go slow!
What??! Go slow?? Go slow?? Please say it ain’t so!
With each passing day my impatience will grow!
You just don’t understand Mr. Reinhard you don’t.
You think I’ll be patient, I assure you I won’t!
This poundage I carry, with each extra bounce,
With each extra curve and each extra ounce,
Is driving me crazy when I walk it around.
It wears me right down, yes right down to the ground!
It makes my knees weak and it makes my heart thump.
There’s extra in front and there’s extra in frump!
Cakes soda and candy and ice cream and fudge
Soon create a bulge where there once was just pudge.
Bread pretzels and noodles and cookies and cream,
The image in the mirror makes me wanna scream!
I want to wake up and be perky and spry,
With a spring in my step, a glint in my eye!
But I know you are right, Mr. R, it’s so.
The best way to do this is steady and slow.
Sooooo……
I’ll take pride in each of the pounds that I shed
Each dumpy ole grumpy ole pound once it’s dead
Will bring pure joy and profound tribulation!
I’ll dance and I’ll sing with great celebration!
For each pound I lose will most certainly be
A testament to the reality
That all people CAN change and life can be sweet.
Much sweeter than any old thing that we eat!
The colors of life that lie just up ahead,
All green and yellow (with occasional red)
Look great on my HabitCal wall , I must say
Tho’ not perfect yet I AM WELL ON MY WAY!!

That is great -- so clever! Not to mention true.
"That which we persist in doing becomes easier for us to do. Not that the nature of the thing itself has changed but our power to do it is increased." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

If I eat this doughnut, I'll be sick all day... (I was...)
If I eat this doughnut I won't go out to play.
For if I eat the doughnut it will make me sick you see,
For if I eat the doughnut I'll feel like I'm out at sea.
For if I eat this doughnut I know my day will suck,
And if I eat this doughnut I'll be out of luck.
But I did eat the doughnut, my eyes began to droop,
I did eat this doughnut and I feel like I have the croop.
I did eat this doughnut and my belly starts to swell,'
I did eat this doughnut I now I feel like H3!! !

A donut here and a candy bar there
Depriving oneself does not seem quite fair
But continually snacking as if you don't care
Can cause extra girth in the derriere!!
