'Twas The Night Before Weigh-in
'Twas the the night before weigh-in and all through the house
I was stirring, and oh, so was the mouse
The hopes of a good number were hanging in my head
Making it very hard for me to go to bed
My fate was nestled snuggly in the past
Leaving me wondering if I should fast
Visions of sugared delights danced in my mind
Leaving me to wonder, my waist should I bind?
Oh no that would add unwanted ounces
But it would help the appearance of my blouses
Should I go to such a measure
My commitment to the plan does waiver
Breads, cakes, cookies, and fudge
All these things I did eat that increase my pudge
Their taste divine, the points so high
Again and again I do it, why oh why?
Holiday parties, work functions, and family affairs
Coming so close to weigh-in day, they leave me in despair
Will I have time to undo the damage
I know in my mind that I can manage

Coming so close to weigh-in day, they leave me in despair
Will I have time to undo the damage
I know in my mind that I can manage
I'll drink my water, all 6
glasses
I'll even go to a gym for their exercise classes
I'll eat my protein and drink my milk
Oh, maybe I'll even try the soy variety called Silk
I'll cut back and not eat as much
A loss that will surely clutch
I'll only eat salads and zero point soup
The Weight Watcher staff I know I can surely dupe
They will not be able to tell
That from the plans I definitely fell
They will not see the bruises from the slip, on my leg
And if they do, for a better weight I will beg
I seem to do this week after week

Leaving my feelings of meeting day so bleak
Next week will be different and better
My commitment to the plans will keep me from being a fretter
I will eat what I should and know that in my heart
From this weight I do carry I shall part
The day will come when my goal I do reach
And along the way will there be others I do teach
Next week will be different and better
My commitment to the plans will keep me from being a fretter
I will eat what I should and know that in my heart
From this weight I do carry I shall part
The day will come when my goal I do reach
And along the way will there be others I do teach
Maintenance is finished and
lifetime status achieved
All the books and magazines from Weight Watchers I still read
My life is forever changed, my mind made up
The past ways and behaviors I will continuously cleanup
This will stick, I will survive to the end
All those who care about their health are now a friend
And my words of wisdom and advice to all who travel this road,
To all a great weigh-in and may Weight Watchers be your new abode!
