End the Trend

Just say NO to the big mac and fries!
Say NO to diabetes, heart attacks, and fat thighs!
Just say NO to breakfast tacos with bacon,
Say NO to greasy, processed foods or your body will be achin!

Say NO to eatin’ pizza- almost every night
Put down the chocolate donut
Now don’t put up a fight!
Say NO to watchin’ TV
For eight hours straight
Take a walk, a quick jog, just get out and play!

Dust off the gym equipment
Get out your tennis shoes
Get your heart pumpin’
You got nothin’ to lose

Well except the fat,
And that’s a fact,
When you see the results
There is no goin’ back!

Come on San Antonio!
It’s time to make a change!
We gotta lead by example
So our kids will do the same!

Let’s give ourselves better foods and exercise more
Let’s give our bodies all the goodness that its’ been beggin’ for!
Let’s support each other in Ending This Trend!
Say NO to obesity and let the games begin!

Holla!
