The Weight Loss Support Group Forum


This is a group who lack perfect physique
Hefty in size and the future looks bleak
Eagerly visit for the support we seek

When diet and cravings are nothing new -
Even the wallpaper is chewed to the glue -
Infinitely tastier than dry toast and stew,
Greatly the longing for chips and a brew.
Helpings of crackers are limited to two.
Thinking of chocolate just leaves us blue.

Longing to fit that elusive size eight
Only to gaze with longing - but wait
Sensible eating is simply our fate
Soon we won’t have to squeeze through the gate.

Simply sitting at a computer won’t do it,
Using our courage, our stamina and grit
Purposefully working at exercise, not quit
Preserving nutrition and never submit
Or feeling discouraged but using our wit
Readily engage in the challenge and commit
Together we’re stronger, this I admit.

Gardening, planting and growing a seed
Recruiting each other for the help we need
Offering support without payment or greed
Using experience to help others succeed
Purpose and intent as we proceed.

Following a leader is not our intent
Or comparing results is never our bent
Recipes exchanged and gratefully sent
Ultimate results are the calories spent
Maximum weight loss will make us content.
