After taking her class last night I feel very intimidated for a very superficial reason and am here looking for a shoulder to whine on. Her class consisted of three gorgeous, young ladies with bodies to die for. Tiny, graceful little gazelles. They are part of her troupe and at least intermediate level dancers.
I, on the other hand, am a middle aged fat lady. As soon as I saw these young ladies with their slim size 2 bodies I felt so bad. I wondered if they thought I had no business being there with them, ruining the class esthetic. They has their tiny little Sharif wear tops on and capri pants and sequin scarves, while I had on a tee shirt with a gypsy skirt looking like a old haus frau.
For the most part I was able to keep up with their choreography, although teacher had to clarify some moves for me. As shallow as it sounds, I just felt awful being there and looking like I do. I am losing weight, but am 40 lbs away from my goal.
In my other class, with teacher "A", I fit right in. We are all older, and no one looks like they belong on a CD cover. Can anyone empathise with this?
Sorry for the whine, but if anyone understands, it may be someone here.
Don't yell at me, I am sad enough.
Thanks
