Twas the day after Christmas, I had put on 10 lbs
By eating the rich food, that was always around.
My stockings were tight, the seams they were busting,
From the constant barrage of food I was lusting.
My family wore clothes that were pretty snug too,
As they pleaded with me to try something new.
The only thing that fit was my stretch stocking cap
And in between my shirt and my pants there was a huge gap.
I had repeatedly licked every platter,
And convinced myself that it really didn’t matter.
I avoided all mirrors, ran by them in a dash,
So I wouldn’t have to look at my tight-fitting sash.
Tired of wearing those double X sizes,
I had to do something as the scale number rises.
When I learned of a Health Coach, I shouted
“Give me relief from the munchies” resounded.
When relief came, it was so kind and quick
And I no longer feel lethargic and sick.
I began losing the weight without all the strife,
Because my health coach guided me through the challenges in life.
The fat is melting, it seems to go POOF!
And the energy I’ve gained has gone through the roof!
The sizes get smaller as the scale shows less,
And thanks to my coach, my health is no longer a mess.
My eating is healthier, I’ve changed the bad habits,
And the weight I’ve lost, won’t be recounted.
My lifestyle is changing, my food choices now healthy,
And used for refueling, not making me look like jelly.
For the first time in decades, I like my new self
And breathing is easier when I tighten my belt.
Mirrors are now my new best friend
Admiring my new shape and curves that extend.
Try as I did for too many years,
Without much success and a whole lot of tears,
Losing weight has been easy,
With my health coach who teaches.
Happy New Year and good health to you in 2013!
