Start Over
I normally do not share or pass poems on... but I read this the other day and it really encouraged me...
If you've started out in pursuit of your goal
And you've really tried with your heart and your soul,
but somehow things got out of control---
START OVER.
When you've tried your best to do what you should
And you thought this time that you surely would,
But once again, you didn't do good---
START OVER.
When you've worked so hard to follow a dieters way
And you fought to win a victory each day.
But one more time you went astray---
START OVER.
When you've tried so hard to yourself to be true
And do the things that you know you should do,
But once again you failed to come through---
START OVER.
When the road to success seemed much too long
And each temptation was oh so strong
And once again you gave in to wrong---
START OVER.
When you've told your friends what you planned to do
And trusted them to help you through
But soon discovered it's up to you---
START OVER.
When you know you must be physically fit,
But your hope seems gone and you're stuck in a pit
That's not the time for you to quit---
START OVER.
When the week seems long and successes few
And at weigh-in time you're feeling blue,
Remember tomorrow is just for you---
START OVER.
To start again means a victory's been won
And starting over again means a race well run
And starting over again proves it can be done
So don't just sit there---
START OVER

Thank you so much Melinda for sharing this. It came at a really good time. I have not lost any weight at all for about two months and I have been so down because there is more that I want to lose. I really wanted to get to 200 lbs before seeing a Plastic surgeon and that last 10 lbs is not going anywhere at all it seems no matter how hard I try. Partly due to my impatience. I try to eat less and cut back on carbs and exercise more and when I don't lose I get frustrated and want to give up. Thank you so much for this poem.
You gave me a good idea, Neenaj. I once liked a poem so much, I printed it out on pretty paper and framed it. I also thought about printing a copy and putting it into my coworkers' mailboxes who are on the 12 week diet... they call me "weigh master" since I weigh them every Monday and take their $1 fee. So far this week, one gained, one stayed the same, 4 lost.
