Being a Fat Chick Going to a Dance Studio....

[feline]

So... I am going to openly write something here that's scary and I'm leaving it public, which is also scary. If you know me from some point in my life then you'll get what I'm talking about. If you wandered here, welcome to my personal drama

I know exactly how you feel, and I sympathize.

[feline]

You should come with us. It's only C and me. :)

If I can start from behind, sure. My next several Sundays are free. :)

Email Michelle (the teacher) from the link I sent you and see what she says. :)

Who hoo belly dancing!

When I go to yoga I still sit in the back, though I do go.

I like the idea of you and your plump behind tangled in a veil!

I fear working out in the gym because all I can think is, "People are staring." I'm not sure I could do yoga in a class. I do it at home, though.

I got flustered and posted before I was finished... *laugh*

Thanks. :)

Hey, good for you! I'm glad you had fun. It's tough to do things like that... I really identify. If I let myself start think about what I look like at the gym, I feel really self-conscious. I just keep trying to remind myself that I have every right to be there, and that fitness isn't just for the already-fit. Not an easy struggle, though.

Thanks and yes, I have just as much right to be there, but I always feel like I'm being judged.

huzzah! good for you!

i often stay home because i'm afraid of how i'll look, or that people will think i'm too fat, too.

I wish I had enough confidence to ignore when people make snarky comments, but it's often too frustrating to deal with. That's what really tears me down.
