Thank you Roberta Leader: ‘Twas a night during the holidays and what thoughts did it bring? My mind said to me, “Why not have a big fling?” There were pies in the oven, sugared mints in the jar There were snacks for the party and drinks in the bar No! I’ll resist the temptation! I’ll keep a strong head! I’ll not eat a bite! And I climbed into bed. When out of my stomach there came such a roar I sprang from my bed, landing flat on the floor. Away to the kitchen I flew like a flash Tore open the fridge to do something RASH! The light from within gave a heavenly glow To the objects of food laid on trays there below. About to indulge in a goodie or two, I heard a bell jingle and stopped right on cue. Before I’d give in to a snack food to eat I’d put on my coat and get out on my feet. Was it hunger I felt? Or was I just bored? This year I’d think first, before my points soared. I put on my coat, my warm gloves and shoes Determined to contemplate goodies I’d choose. The moon on the crest of the new fallen snow On houses and trees gave a sparkle and glow. As I walked down the street, my mind did recall All the things that we’d said at the Weight Watchers hall. Going to meetings to help motivate With words of encouragement to help shed this weight. I spoke not a word when my walk was done I felt so renewed -- I knew I had won! I walked into the kitchen, my WW book read I turned with a smile, and headed for bed. And I said to myself as I turned out the light I will Jingle, not Jiggle -- I have fought the good fight! Merry Christmas everyone! See you at the meeting!
