I Think I Can! I Think I Can! ©

A poem by Cyndi Schoenhals
"I Hate Diets!" Weight Loss Program

I gazed into the mirror
Appalled at what I saw
I must be 10 pounds heavier
Than I was last fall!

"That weight must go!"
I heard myself say
And, I knew that I must
Start a new diet today

I dumped all the candy
And other sweets, too
Into the wastebasket
To begin life anew

I'll walk, and I'll run
Whatever it takes
To shed those 10 pounds
For goodness' sakes!

Like the little caboose
Climbing up the big hill
"I think I can! I think I can!"
without diet pills!
