WILLLOSEIT's CalorieKing blog
Friday, Oct 12 2007 - a lesson learned
View WILLLOSEIT's food & exercise for this day
i learn this lesson
every day
there will always be dissent
no matter what you say
there will always be someone
who things they know best
who preaches and thinks
they're smarter than the rest
when it comes to weight loss
the secret is out
i know better than you
the expert, no doubt
ha, i say
to all those who try
to stand on their soapbox
and shout out their lies
you don't know better
and you don't know more
you don't walk in my shoes
or stand at my door
i'll make my own choices
i'll follow my own plan
i'll make my mistakes
perhaps again and again
but each time i falter
i learn something new
i take the knowledge
it's the best i can do
i don't stand on
a pedestal so tall
and i don't believe
i know it all
but i make good choices
most of the time
i feel happy and healthy
i am doing just fine
so don't tell me
you know better than i
and don't judge others
whose truths you deny
the secret is simple
and yours is not mine
the secret is doing
what makes you feel fine
i eat chips
and chocolate too
ice cream on occasion
is good for you
all or nothing
are words i can't abide
life in balance
seems more dignified
more fruits and veggies
oh, every single day
but that doesn't mean
i don't have it my way
i am thrilled about
my current lifestyle
it's working for me
so i'll just keep it awhile
i'll make adjustments
and an occasional mistake
because i am not perfect
i can have my cake
and whatever else
i crave now and then
food is not the enemy
i have made it my friend
so all you experts
please, don't take this wrong
i dance to my own beat
i sing my own song
i am eating well and
feel just great
i'm fit and fabulous
but perfection can wait
a lesson learned
in the smallest detail
an indulgence today
won't mean i'll fail

Since reaching maintenance months ago, I just lurk here occasionally. But ... you brought me out of hiding today. This is fantabulous. Your blog is awesome. Your post in the related thread is awesome as well. Bravo to you for your weight loss efforts. I have no doubt that you will continue the healthy path you are on, continuing to lose AND continuing to live and love life. Regarding the one on her pedastal ... what is it they say? Me thinks she protesteth too much ...

The color of your outfit is beautiful. Your hair looks so nice and long and straight. "there will always be someone
who things they know best
who preaches and thinks
they're smarter than the rest"...Tis the truth my friend. have a great weekend.
