Skin Tight

Oh the constant battle
To try and lose the weight,

Getting on and off the scale
To see those numbers I do hate, 

I try to listen to my voice
By eating healthy, not by choice,

I love my burgers and my fries
Pizza, pasta, cheese and ryes, 

I try to walk and run and ride
To lose the weight the will’s inside,

You join a gym in hopes to lose
The extra weight you didn’t choose,

And most of us will not commit
Willpower drops and we submit,

But then there’s some that win the fight
They lose the weight and get Skin Tight!
