Stupid Cupid Wow! I can't believe its almost Valentine's Day. I Can't wait to
get my hands on a box of Chocolates! I'm gonna eat and eat and eat. All that
yummy-gummy, icky-sticky, ooey-gooey chocolate. And those cute little heart
candies and heart shaped cakes. Oooh, Candy and Love and Love and Candy !
Oooh...

Wavering Wanda
Hi, Stupid Cupid. What were you saying about Valentine's Day? Something about
chocolates and candy.

Stupid Cupid
Yeah, it's gonna be great, Wavering Wanda. Aren't you excited ?

Wavering Wanda
Well,.....yes, But I'm feeling scared too. You see, I'm trying to lose some
weight and take better care of myself. But I sure do love chocolates. I hope I
can resist.

Sensible Sam
Excuse me, Wavering Wanda. I couldn't help overhearing your conversation. I
lost my excess weight in my TOPS chapter, and we have a helpful motto. It is:
Moderation in all things; then you'll see the joy it brings.

Stupid Cupid
Oh, ignore him, Wanda. I have a motto too: Eating goodies aint so bad; being
slim is just a fad!

Wavering Wanda
Gee, I don't know, Stupid Cupid. I want to be able to look and feel good about
myself.

Sensible Sam
Thats the spirit, Wanda. You've got to hang in there and be consistant. Did
you know that being overweight also can contribute to depression and put one
at high risk for other serious health problems? Why not visit my TOPS chapter,
where we learn to take off and keep off pounds sensibly? We have lots of fun
too.

Stupid Cupid
Oh, come on, Wanda. Don't listen to him. He sounds too serious to have fun. He
probably saved up his candy money to have his sweet tooth extracted. Why, he's
so slim, I'll bet he has no LOVE Handles! Join me, Wanda, not TOPS. Don't ou
want a sweet treat? Don't you want some candy and cake? Forget your diet and
let's really party. Yo, Mama! Let's boogie!

Wavering Wanda
Look, Stupid Cupid, we're both too chubby. My excess weight makes me sad and
depressed. I miss the old slimmer me. Sure, the goodies are fun to eat, and
they might take my mind off my problems for a while. But, you know, the
goodies are only a temporary fix. Then it's right back to reality.



No, Cupid, I'm gonna eat my fruit and vegetables and trim my waistline. And
you should consider joining me. I thought Cupid was supposed to be all about
hearts and love. Why don't we both take care of our HEARTS and LOVE ourselves
enough to eat sensibly and get healthy? Be an angel Cupid, and join TOPS with
me!

Lucid Cupid
Well,....I have been feeling a little strain on my wings lately. Okay, I'll
give it a try. But, tell me, do you think they'll make me wear my wings during
weigh in ?

{Wanda grins and shrugs her shoulders at Cupid. Cupid returns her grin and
shrugs too)

Wanda, Cupid and Sam
(Join hands and speak in unison to audience)
You're breaking your heart if you are gaining. The weight won't go by just
complaining. So sample rarely treats and candy, Exercise and you'll feel
dandy. Your loss will make you feel so proud. Your TOPS pals will all shout
out loud:



"Hip, Hip, Hurray for You!!
