Bootcamp and me

Body shaming sizes 14 plus.
Bingo wings and fuller bust.
Trying to avoid the fuss.
Because I'm fitter than I have ever been.

Loosing faith in every mirror,
I am sure I looked a little thinner,
Maybe I shouldn't of had that chicken dinner!
But I'm fitter than I've ever been.

I went and joined a boot camp class,
To tone my thighs and shift some ass.
Was never sure if it was going to last.
But now I'm fitter than I've ever been.

Press ups, planks, mastering burpies,
Squat thrusts, shuttle runs, elbows and high knees,
Mountain climbers, lunges and 'what are these?'
I am fitter than I've ever been.

Every week pushed a little more,
Exhaustion hits as you close your door,
I did it! Watch my confidence soar.
I am fitter than I've ever been.

And although my size maybe the same,
I can start to see muscles form again,
I know I am in this for the long game.
Because I am fitter than I've even been.

I am not the shape I used to be,
And it's hard sometimes to see it as beauty
But I am working on loving the 'now' me...
Because I am fitter than I've ever been.
