I am building myself up, while i am breaking myself down
as im cutting this weight, again, my true  self confidence, is  becming, found

Each  new,  day of momentum
this battle, with my weight, is being won

So, im developing a habit of exercise
am instilling, in myself, that my health,  and fitness, is my wealth, and making the right choices, smart and wise

Im building up, my self esteem, again
as i am  becoming, proud, of myself, and my new best friend

When you gain alot of weight, you dont even want, to look at yourself, in themirror, and believe, that  is you
you dont see yourself, as that big, that out of shape, you dont want to know, the  reality, that its true

When people are totally, off track, and eatting, , over eatting, snacking, all the wrong, foods, and beverages type
they are spiraling, out of control, , and they are in denial, they know, they will go on a diet, , for them, maybe, tommorrow, nxt mobth, or next year, when the timing is just right

But the time, is right here right now
build yourself up, as. You break yourself, down, get your momentum, make a change. Find the energy, to start some how

For me, in  2009. Of may, , well i had a stroke
at 0500  in the early morn, i could not, move my left arm, when i awoke

That time, my weight was at, 382----
i remember, sitting,  in the emergency room, watching, the. Clock, tick, tick, tick, as i was oraying, praying, praying,  to god, please just give me one more chance,  to loose this weight again, feeling so lost, dissappointed, doomed, and blue

So thank god, that i completely, recovered, with a blessing of ninety days of work, and dissability, to exercise, and i swam, hours and hoursceach and every day
got my momentum, ate right, and found my way


So i am building myself up, as im breaking myself down
my momentum, and motivation again, is refound


I am remembering, the struggle, year, after year, of fighting to loose weight
and right here, right now, i have my, momentum, and as i am sacrificing, all foods, to be on, my protein shakes, of liquid, , i am building myself up, and want my life, living, and love,  fate, to be outstanding, and great

I am building myself up, as i am, breaking myself down
when i reach my ultimate  goal, on top of the mountain, peak i will remember, where  i started, way  down below, on the ground


When i reach, my mountain top, i willnot forget, where i came from, and my life, long, struggle, to reach the top, i will vow, to help all others, who are way down there, on the ground, still struggling, fighting, to find the motivation, determibation, and desire to start there climb
i will be there, to lend a hand to others, to help them, when they are ready, in there time
