I danced! (Day 24)

I danced! I was so worried I wouldn't be able to, it was hard to get myself to go because I love dancing and wanted to go but I was so anxious that I wouldn't have the energy to dance well and that my fat would jiggle everywhere and I'd look disgusting while I danced. Nevertheless I went and I managed to make it through my class which is great! I even managed to spend less time staring at my body and more time focussing on improving my technique, I even learnt the 2nd step to my new slip jig (for some reason I find slip jigs the hardest of all the dances).

So a big step forward in that regard. I'm still having issues with my body but I'm more accepting of all of it except my bum so that may take a big more time.

I went to my psychiatrist the other day and she thinks the flu is working, she said that I won't notice the effects until a little later but than she noticed I was talking a lot less about my body. We spent most of the time talking about our mutual love of Faulty Towers, "BASIL!" Hehe.

So hopefully I continue getting better, I hope I haven't jinxed myself by posting this!

    Yey! Thats great news Pippa. I think improvement sometimes creeps up slowly then one day you realise youve forgotten you have an illness, even if its just for a day or two to begin with - sounds like you're getting there :-)

    Hope you continue to improve lots

    Takw care

      thankyou vix, I've had a little slip today, very upset over my body but I'm trying not to let it get to me. It may be because I woke up at 5:30 for a dental operation so the tiredness may have affected my emotions. smile
