when the going gets tough
When the going gets tough
When you've eaten too much and you can't write it down,
and you feel like the biggest failure in town.
When you want to give up just because you gave in,
And forget all about being healthy and thin.
so what! You went over your points a bit,
It's your next move that counts, so don't quit!
It's a moment of truth, it's an attitude change.
It's learning the skills to get back in your range.
It's telling yourself; "You've done great up to now"
You can take on this challenge, and beat it, somehow!
It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal,
You're still gonna make it, just stay in control.
To stumble and fall is not a disgrace,
If you summon the will to get back in the race.
But, often the strugglers, when losing their grip
Just throw in the towel and continue to slip.
And learn too late when the damage is done,
That the race wasn't over, they still could have won!
A life-style change can be awkward and slow,
But facing each challenge will help you to grow.
Success is failure, turned inside out
The silver tint in the cloud of doubt.
When you're pushed to the brink, just refuse to submit,
If you bite it, you write it................
Just DON'T YOU DARE QUIT!
