Only 1lb (why small losses DO count)

[Cherry-Blossom]

Nicked from the SW section:


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!!!

I think this should be a sticky either here or in the general VLCD section.

Well worth remembering. Focus on loosing 1lb and the stones will look after themselves.

Have any of you seen those pictures of what a pound of fat actually LOOKS like.... (It's approximately a "mug" in size) Now THAT's motivation when you think of "only a pound!!"

Thanks for the pic Maka- if it didn't look quite so gross I'd add something like that to my sig to remind me exactly what I'm trying to do! Keep me on target!
