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
