Me 100+ pounds ago would never dream of getting in front of a room of people and square-dancing!!
Me today....I danced, laughed and had a blast.
My grandson's class had a grandparents square dance. The kids sang, danced and did a presentation on the history of the square-dancing. At the end of the hour, they invited the kids to come get their grandparents as their partners in the final dance.
My husband was holding our little grand-daughter, so my grandson came and asked me to dance. I did. I didn't have the self-conscious feelings that I once had. I knew that everyone in the room wasn't watching me as I hee-hawed and kicked up my heels. They were all too busy having fun with their own grandkids to notice me.
It hit me in the middle of the dance that this is what its all about. I danced, laughed, had the time of my life. I realize that I not only lost weight, but I lost 100 pounds of burden that I had always had feeling unworthy of having fun. My grandson and I got to share a moment with each other that we'll never forget. He said "We'll have to dance for the family next time I come to visit." I can't wait.
