The Point Contest

I'm trying to lose weight, but whats the point in it?
I just can't seem to get this and be fit.
Motivation will come at some point I think.
But my waist is doing the opposite of shrink.

My doctor makes a good point in having a diet.
But his large body tells me he has never tried it.
I see my efforts being trivial  and pointless.
So what if I don't have a girl friend to kiss.

You don't know me, maybe this Saturday I have a hot date.
I don't, but that's due to you people pointing out my weight. 
I have so many people who pointed out this next flaw, 
that they're suppose to point up, so I should invest in a bra.  

This isn't an obstacle, its a mountain to climb,
but I have to get up and try at some point in time.
I am trying to get back to the point I was at years ago,
even when you're not at point blank, my love handles still show.

Yes I shop at the big and tall store, 
but don't make it your point to stare at me and take a tour. 
I wish they would see my point of view and be fair.
My point is, I am who I am, and your opinion, I just don't care.
