A surprise location for the Dieter's Prayer

I was traveling through Montpelier, VT and happened upon the Coffee Corner Diner for lunch.  It’s the kind of place you find in little towns all over New England (okay, Montpelier is the capital of Vermont, but it’s still a small town vibe).  You don’t really expect the food to be all that healthy but you know it’ll taste great.

In the men’s room was posted “The Dieter’s Prayer,” which cracked me up and I had to share it with you.  That fact that it was in the men’s room, not the ladies’, and in a diner to boot, just made it that much funnier…

The Dieter’s Prayer

To be slender is my goal.  I shall not eat. Yea, tho I trudge through the valley of fat, I shall not fear for mine is the path of diet cola and cottage cheese.

Tho hot fudge sundaes and French pastries beckon, I shall not falter!  Tho I suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous friends who order sauces and creams, I will remain strong, as the thought of my new self comforts me always.

Surely double chins and chubby cheeks shall melt away and I will dwell in the house of the thin FOREVER!

~ Amen

By the way, I had a roast beef sandwich on whole wheat bread with lettuce and tomatoes and crinkle cut sweet potato fries.  It was delicious. The only sign in the ladies’ room was a reminder to wash your hands.  ;-)

What do you use as a mantra to keep you on track?
