One Pound of Fat

Hello!  Do you know me?  If you don't, you should.  I am ONE POUND OF FAT, and I am the happiest pound of FAT that you would ever want to meet!  Want to know why?  It's because no one ever wants to lose me!  After all, I am only ONE POUND OF FAT.  Just ONE POUND.  Everyone wants to lose 3 or 5 or 15 pounds, but never ONLY one.  So, I just stick around and happily keep you.  Then I am free to add to myself, ever so slyly, so that you never seem to notice... That is, until I have grown to 10, 20 or even 30 pounds in weight... YES... it is fun being ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT... left to do just as I please.
So, when you weigh in, go ahead... just keep on saying, "Oh I only lost one pound."  (As if that is so terrible.)  For you see, if you do this, you will encourage others to hang around me because they will think that I am not worth losing.  And I LOVE being around you... your arms, your legs, your chin, your hips, and every other part of you.  HAPPY DAYS!  After all, I am ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT!!!
