One Pound

  • Hello! Do you know me? If you don't, then you should. I am a pound of
    fat. And I'm the happiest pound of fat 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! 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 me. That is, until
    I've grown up to ten, twenty, or even more pounds in weight. Yes, it is 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" (as if that were such a terrible
    thing!).

    For you see, if you do this, you will 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 little pound.
