It's Just One Pound

I weighed in this morning and guess what! 
I am down 1 pound!
One pound?  That's lame, you're thinking.
Well guess what.  I was on vacation while I lost that one pound.
How many times have you lost instead of gained on vacation?
Me? NEVER!
So ya, I must be proud of that one pound.

"Only 1 Pound"

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, thirty 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'll 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!

By the way...remember my tip last week.  I'm totally sticking to it.
See, this was my grocery cart this morning.
Pineapple+cantaloupe+apples+
peaches+bananas+grapes+tomatoes+lettuce+
peppers+cucumbers+zucchini=MMmmm
It seems that every time I go visit one of my sisters I always learn a new life lesson that I especially need at that moment.
This time it was how to prepare fruits and veggies:)
How appropriate.  I know!
So I have now washed, chopped, sliced, and placed in the forefront of my fridge (NOT in the crisper) all this deliciousness.
So go ahead.  Have a snack!
