Why can’t I dance my ass off?



Ok, I’m gonna make this short and sweet. My body is all sorts of weird. I can carry about 30 pounds of weight for each clothing size. And honestly it sorta ticks me off. I have been watching Dance Your Ass Off (and to think I always blamed my lack of dancing ability on my size). The women stand up on the massive TV-production-value scale each week and exclaim…I’ve lost 25 pounds and 5 sizes. WHAT! How is that possible? Not me. 22 pounds down and still in my size 20 pants. I have maybe gone from a 3X shirt to a 2X….but that’s hardly substantial. I keep trying on 18s (because you know I have a 30 gallon storage tub full) but I can’t get close to buttoning them. Dang it. Now in all honesty the pants that were tight on me when I started this journey are now loose-practically falling off….and when I started I was right on the verge of wearing a 22…and I think the larger the size the greater the likelihood of size variation….and it is nice to have my pants fit comfortably but I would like it so much more if I could lose a size. When I weighed 169 (my lowest ever adult weight) I wore a size 14. So logically I can assume that it could take me losing almost 100 pounds to lose 3 dress sizes. Time to refer back to The Beck Diet Solution….my situation may not be fair, so what, deal with it and move on.
