~ It doesn't matter how many steps you walk - as long as you don't stop ~ quote by poet The attention of the steps, stop counting the kilos the present panic around weight and waistline Women can debate body and appearance for hours, men avoid the topic completely The fitness body requires extreme discipline Don't escape into a novel where roses and chocolate has the absolute role We don't need body pressure no speculative look All you need is inspiration, exercise and healthy diet Life often takes turns, valleys and mountain peaks Together we manage everything believe in your abilities breathe fresh air and move on - together we're dynamite Your personality means more than a bouncy butt

Your poem brought a smile to my day dear Anne-Lise, and I love your quote. So much is placed on physical appearance, when the soul is within. Congratulations! :)

Anne-Lise, this is a poem for our time. There are a small percentage of our population who are blessed with appearance that astounds. The rest of us have to make the best of what we have and as you say....keep going! The best things about us are within and that's true for everyone.

Don't escape into a novel where roses and chocolate has the absolute role…important to have balance in life. Two last lines are funny. Some weighty people just let themselves go…there are some who suffer from circumstances and depression. Inspire those who can be. Have compassion on some. God bless! Smiled when I saw this one too :)

Funny picture and a great poem. Too much fat can kill one's heart. Walking is best besides dieting.

Glad to see you have a really good sense of humor, women and their obsession with weight is like men and their obsession with losing their hair...

Your poem is a gem, Anne-Lise. I loved how you addressed some women's obsession with weight loss and physical appearance. Personality is way more important than one's appearance. This is a delightful take on the 'uplifting' contest. Best wishes in the contest. Have a splendid evening, hugs, Sara

Love this clever gem. So true. People tend to see the outside. That's not as you say, personality is more important.besides,I don't mind big women. They can be beautiful too. Love the pic. Pete. Hope you won.

Rather uplifting thoughts on the obsession of weight control. Fat or slender, beauty lies in the eyes of beholder On the self esteem,everyone is the prettiest living being.
