Craving a milk chocolate bar
wanting to raid the fridge.
Potato Chips sound yummy,
'specially the kind with the ridge.

Ice-cream is calling me
and I hear Cool-Whip too.
In a big munchy mood,
oh, what am I to do?

I try to cover my ears
but my eyes can still see.
I may not hear them anymore
but now their waving at me.

So I close my eyes tightly
but my nose starts to twinge.
Now I can smell everything
Oh, this may turn into a binge.

Now I breathe out of my mouth
so I can't smell any more.
But now my mouth is open wide
and I'm afraid for what's in store.

But with my mouth opened wide
I yell "I WILL NOT FAIL"
"I will not let all this food
send me to dieter's jail."

I open up my eyes,
and I uncover my ears.
My nose stops twinging
and I wipe away my tears.

And as I looked around again
I saw things much more clear.
I now saw fruits and veggies
begging me to draw near.

So as I ate my apple
I saw in the corner of my eye.
That chocolate bar walk out the door
and I yelled loudly, "GOOD BYE!"

Nothing is off limits
we can eat what we desire.
But we must choose wisely
if we want to buy new attire.

Just because you "can"
doesn't mean you always should.
You need to aim for healthy foods,
remember veggies are always good.

Eating fast food french fries
burgers and fried chicken.
May make you crave more
and maybe you'll do some extra pickin'.

So be careful to pay attention
to the foods that make you crave.
Yes, you can have them occasionally
WW doesn't treat you like a slave.

But eating right is more than
losing weight and smaller hips.
Think about the big picture
before that food goes on your lips.

It's about a healthy heart
and healthy muscles and joints.
It's not just about pounds,
weigh-ins and counting points.

So while WW gives us the option
to eat anything that you please.
Remember to drink all your water
and get in all of your 8 HG's!

Getting through day one
and now on to day two.
Wondering if I will stay focused
and successfully make it through.

I will keep my eyes on the prize,
and not begin to sway.
I will remain faithful and determined
doubt will not get in the way.

I will stay on track every minute,
every second of the day.
And if I do mess up once,
I won't throw the day away.

I'll just get back on the horse
and keep riding on the journey.
I'll stay true to my commitment -
For that's the only way to be.
