If you choose to turn on the road to a new life
Don't be surprised by some pitfalls and strife

At birth, I was created somewhat equal
As time passed by, my life became a sequel

Choosing to whip my ole body into shape
Pains and roadblocks I could not escape 

Many choices of eating patterns and qualified coaches 
The most important is my desire as the goal approaches

It's funny looking back how time slips away
My weight will follow the same path if I focus and pray
