I00 TO LOSE, FINDING HOPE

Hi -- I joined WW again yesterday. It's so hard to go back and start over again, but my doctor says I must and I want to SO badly for my husband who married me before a thyroid condition caused weight gain, and then a foot injury and pregnancy ... I'm looking forward to hanging out on the boards here to stay in touch. Has anybody subscribed to myweightlossfriend.com? I got the cutest thing in my e-mail today and my free journal just for subscribing. Maybe everybody already knows about this site, but my leader suggested it to me yesterday and I'm finding hope through WW and you, and daily hugs from myweightlossfriend.com.
T’WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE THANKSGIVING
T'was the night before Thanksgiving,
Though I could not sleep.
I tried counting backwards,
I tried counting sheep
You see, tomorrow's food beckoned
The dark meat and white
I'd have to do something
To eat healthy and right
So tossing and turning with anticipation
The thought of being skinny became infatuation.
I raced to the closet, flung open the door
And gazed at the clothes,
Aching to wear them once more.
Though tempted by pecan pie and sour cream dips
Tomorrow it's salad and white meat on my lips
I see myself healthy, so pretty, so thin
I say to myself "This battle I'll win!"
My hopes rose through the ceiling
Floating into the sky
A plan for my choices
Each new day to try
I'll eat what is best, pass up the sugars and extra cheese
I'll try new vegetables and low-fat meals freeze
May our stuffing be mostly celery
May our skinless turkey breast be plump
May our potatoes made with Butterbuds
Have nary a lump
May our cinnamon/sugar-free yams be delicious
May our Lite Cool Whip pumpkin mousse win the prize
And our Thanksgiving dinner
Will stay off of our thighs!
