Don't Quit!!!

I got the following poem at one of my meetings while I was losing and stuck it on the fridge. It's a great reminder!


DON'T QUIT

When you've eaten too much and can't write it down
And you feel like the biggest failure in town:
When you want to give up just because you gave in
And forget all about being healthy and thin:
so What! You went over your Points or Comfort Zone a bit:
It's you next move that counts..
So don't you quit!!
It's a moment of truth, It's an attitude change.
It's learning the skills to get back in your range:
It's telling yourself "You've done great up till now:
You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow!
It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal.
You're still going to make it, just stay in control.
To stumble and fall is not a disgrace
if you summon the will to get back in the race.
But often the strugglers when losing their grip just throw in the towel and continue to slip
And learn too late when the damage is done
That the race wasn't over and they still could have won.
Lifestyle change can be can be awkward and slow.
But facing each challenge will help you to grow:
Success is failure turned inside out.
It's the silver lining in the cloud of self-doubt. When you are pushed to the brink, just refuse to submit:
If you bite it JUST write it.. But don't you QUIT!
