The Hardest Door To Open

The hardest door to open The hardest door to open is the door outside my gym I think you know the one I mean, the door that lets you in I meant to go there many times and start my life anew But breaking down that barrier is very hard to do Well finally I got there and I opened up that door And I asked if they could help me lose a stone or two or more And they made it clear that losing weight and toning up is fine But you have to do it slowly losing one pound at a time I was glad I went along that day to Healthy Lady Gym The members are all sizes down from extra large to thin Plus members of all ages there with daughters mums and grans All ages shapes and sizes is the spectrum that they span They greeted me with open arms and made me feel at home And kept me focused pound by pound to help me lose a stone Plus losing several inches off my arms and hips and thighs Has made me change my wardrobe as I’m now a smaller size So thanks to all my brand new friends the members and the staff Who pick me up and cheer me on with banter and a laugh I’m slimmer and more confident and have a permanent grin Cos the easiest door to open now is the one outside my gym

I'm sorry I can't soup mail you as you don't have this feature enabled - was going to say I would classify this as rhyme it definitely is not a limerick format.:-) hugs Jan x
