SLIDE 24 The 230 Pound Psalm “Strict is my diet, I must not want. It maketh me to lie down at night hungry. It leadeth me past Baskin Robbins; it trieth my will power. It leadeth me in the paths of starvation for my figure’s sake. Yea, though I walk the aisles of pastry departments, I must buy no sweet rolls, for they are fattening. The cakes and the pies, they tempt me. Before me there is a table with celery and lettuce, My day’s quota runneth over. Surely calories and weight charts shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in the fear of the scales forever. Amen.” Anonymous www.carolkent.org www.speakupconference.com www.facebook.com/authorcarolkent www.instagram.com/carolkentspeaks http://www.twitter.com/carolkentspeaks
