Poetic Inspiration: Don’t Quit author unknown
I found this on the internet today. I thought it was cute and so worth sharing!
Don’t Quit
When you’ve eaten too much and you 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 a bit,
It’s your 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 gonna 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 struggler’s, when loosing 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…they still could have won.
Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow,
but facing each challenge will help you grow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
the silver tint in a cloud of doubt.
When you’re pushing to the brink, just refuse to submit,
If you bite it, you write it….But don’t you quit!

Lol. I love taht it is so cute and true at the same time.
I really love this and am glad that you shared it with all of us. Great poem about all of the struggles we all face. Have a happy and healthy day!
Wow! I so needed to hear that today! I’ve done really well all week and then yesterday I ate way too many carbs. It was reflected on the scale this morning and I’m up 2 pounds. I was really feeling bad and this poem is getting printed out and taped to the wall right above my scale. Thanks so much for the booster, too!
I’ll use that for an inspirational tool, which I need because last night I went to town in the cabinets. Thank you. Have a great day.
