The lonely book .... I am writing to reach out to a few people. If sharing the way I have been treated and made to feel can help one other book then this will have been worth it. It isn't easy being a book. Even harder being a book that promises so much, holds so much information and has the potential to change people's lives but doesn't get read. I know you know what I mean. Opened for the first time with so much enthusiasm ..... then never opened again! Sometimes you even leave me in the car for 7 days at a time to freeze my pages off! All I want is to be left in the kitchen or somewhere I actually feel like I am making a difference, somewhere you might use me or pick me over that cheap glossy weekly magazine after all I am a book for life! You know how hard it is to live in darkness, to pop out for just 15 seconds, once a week whilst that woman writes on me then to be thrust back into darkness. Why don't we stay to group with the other books? Why don't you use me in group to make plans or answers other members queries. It's not just the fact you don't use me that upsets me ... you buy me, normally for £9.95 .. You use me once and then ..... you buy me again 16 weeks later when you decide to go back to "that woman” There are tens of us around the house. One in the garage, one in the kitchen cupboard, one propping up a bit of furniture and one being used as the kids as a colouring book! You tell your friends on the phone that you want to lose weight whilst doodling on me ... you tell your partner over and over again it's going to be different this time ... but here we are living separate lives again! Why don't we go back and do it properly this time? you and me side by side.. They say never judge a book by its cover - I say YES! Let people judge us by our cover, a cover full of stickers and awards, a cover to be proud of. A cover you want people to see when they pop over for a cuppa, a cover you wouldn't mind falling out of your bag as you buy your fruit and veg in Tesco. I might be just a book - but I am the key to success and happiness. Take me back to group and make me the Deluxe Edition - the edition that finally gets you to where you want to be. Let's start a new and final chapter together! So let's go back this week and join all the other books in group.

Remember me...? How could you forget? I am the one you always said “I definitely have it here somewhere” as you rummaged through your purse as you felt the queue behind you got bigger and bigger at Slimming World. Do you remember? You do remember me. I was the one you sacrificed a couple of weeks ago to scrape ice off the car as you hadn’t been to group for a while as you’d too much on with Christmas. I know you remember. What has it been 8,9,10 maybe even 12 weeks? The only time we saw each other since Christmas was when you got me out in Tesco trying to “claim points” on me but the woman handed me back saying that “I wasn’t the right one”. I sat between the bank card and the credit card for ages. Both seemed to be very busy, kept coming back boasting about how much they had spent. I kept thinking why doesn’t she get me out, I only ever cost £4.95 and maybe a few extra £’s for those bars she loves that get squished in this bag with the rest of us. It seems to me that I’m unhappy and you don’t seem as happy as you were when we were going to that group each week. You would pull me out all proud and hand me to the first woman. She then passed me back and you walked to the other queue and then handed me to the other woman, she really seemed to like me – even gave me a tickle and a rub if I wasn’t behaving. She then used to hand me back to you and I used to see that proud smile on your face. Now the children are back to school maybe we could hang out a bit more together? I can be your favourite ‘Chip and pin' whilst you eat chips and get thin! It isn’t easy to start again but a quick blow and a rub and we can start slimming again. I will even make you a little promise. If you leave me somewhere you can see me in your purse or your bag I will be a reminder every time you want to pull out one of ‘those other cards’ for a curry or kebab. So read the words on my face and on my back: “Reach high for the stars lie hidden in your soul – Dream deep for every dream proceeds your goal” Please bring me back to group this week. I want to hear that woman saying “Enjoy all this free food and aim for 1/3 speed on your plate and forgive yourself for the perils of Bank holidays and the things that you ate!” Take me along, I’m all that you need. You can carry on where you left off or start a fresh... I am not JUST a card, I am the passport to your success! 💖💖
