Mister Happy That's Me

Diets never show right away Must be patient and persevere Rome wan't built in a day they say Soon a slimmer you will appear Results won't happen overnight Need to lower expectations Gotta be in for a pretty long haul Frustration will turn to elation You'll feel an extra skip in your step Wish folks to have a good day Sun will shine through overcast skies Smile damn it, that's what I'd say Hope you don't mind hearing this hype I'm bursting inside with joy Must let it out or I'll probably explode Mr. Happy since I was a boy © Jack Ellison 2015

NEVER been on a diet either, but I do go for fasting once in a while, its good to cleanse your system, physically and spiritually...haha. You don't believe me? I'm size 8, US. Running helps, of course, PLUS a positive outlook...voila! Of course, a dollop of sillies a day won't hurt!!!

Sorry, Jack! Dieting never worked for me. But dropping suger from every thing, stopped me from gaining, you see. Mikes a Diabetic and that solved the problem.They say that exercising will help drop the weight, but it does the opposite to me. And following Dragon around all day, always ends at his favorite ice cream parlor! Yummie! Running around the Lake should Help. Sadly No, so that blows my mind! Oh, well! I'll just be happy with all that I've done. Plusthat ice cream at the end of the line!
