Be bold for change they said to me
\nWhich seemed easy for them with their slogan tops and skinny capris.<\/p>\n
Be bold for change they shouted out
\nIf only they understood, the self-loathing, the doubt<\/p>\n
You see, I\u2019m not a runner I whispered back
\nI\u2019m wobbly and chubby and my legs are too fat<\/p>\n
Even if I wanted, I just couldn\u2019t
\nThe odds are stacked against me and my man said I wouldn\u2019t<\/p>\n
But oh how to run with the wind in my face
\nMy troubles behind me, my head an empty space<\/p>\n
Be bold for change they tried again
\nIf only I could, If only I said<\/p>\n
Be bold for change they started to whisper
\nAnd as the leaves changed colour, I started to consider<\/p>\n
Maybe, just maybe I could have a go
\nA jaunt, a plod, I\u2019d definitely go slow<\/p>\n
What if I just left my worried behind
\nAnd legged it through the door, one step at a time<\/p>\n
I wondered what they would say?
\nHow they\u2019d react, to see that chubby girl running, no metaphorical weight on her back<\/p>\n
Be bold for change I told myself
\nI could, I would, and I\u2019d show himself<\/p>\n
Be bold for change I shouted with glee!
\nWhat did I have to lose other than some of me?<\/p>\n
So, I put on that Lycra and bounced out of the door
\nI embraced the breathlessness and the sweat that poured<\/p>\n
Just like I said, one in front of the other
\nOn step at a time, each one better<\/p>\n
And before I knew it, I was there
\nRunning and laughing with freedom to spare<\/p>\n
So be bold for change, I\u2019m telling you
\nIt\u2019s hands down, the best thing you\u2019ll ever do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
