I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There’s gotta be a little rain sometime
When you take you gotta give so live and let live or let go
Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
But you don’t find roses growin’ on stalks of clover
So you better think it over
Well, if sweet-talkin’ you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
But what would it matter
So smile for a while and let’s be jolly
Love shouldn’t be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There’s gotta be a little rain some time
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that’s what it takes to hold you
I’d just as soon let you go
But there’s one thing I want you to know
You better look before you leap, still waters run deep
And there won’t always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I’m talking about
So smile for a while and let’s be jolly
Love shouldn’t be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There’s gotta be a little rain sometime
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden

SUNG BY Lynn Anderson Songwriters: Stephanie Nicks

This is one of my favourite country and western songs, the words are perfect regarding relationships, but also for so many of us who are currently battling with a weight problem. Whenever we embark on a new healthier eating and lifestyle routine it’s all guns blazing, it’s easy and nothing stands in our way…..

Then over time, the enthusiasm slips a little and so do the results, it’s more challenging than expected and sadly motivation drifts away. As Mentors for and with many years experience, this is the song it’s tempting to sing!! The only way to achieve the dream you want is to persevere, dig in deep and 100% DO NOT QUIT!!!

No-one ever said it would be easy…

But it WILL be worth it!!!

Is it time to wake up and smell the roses and make better choices for better health!!

Nothing really worth having is easy to get.
The hard fought battles, the goals won with sacrifice, are the ones that matter.

  1. sometimes with lots of things in life we have to sacrifice the little things to gain the big things. Like you always say change the little things in our diet to get the results we want to to see on the scales and the size of clothes we wear.
