WOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I DID IT! I DID IT! I DID IT! Yes, I actually went and did an exercise class. I am on such a high. Hardly anyone showed up - usually there are upto 20 people. Tonight there were 5 - including me, so no hiding for me! It was a jazzercise class - a mixture of aerobics, strength and dance. I kept up and the instructor came over to me at the end to tell me how well I'd done and to ask if I'd done it before hee hee. But the best bit was when I was completing the registration form. As usual there were a ton of questions re health etc, and one asking if you had more than 20 pounds to lose, which I checked. The woman looking at the card saw this and looked at me and said, there's no way you need to lose more than 20 pounds! She actually saw me as a person the right weight and not overweight. That is amazing!!!!!! She saw me as normal - woohooooooooooooooo.

wooohooo to my formerly abby normal friend, welcome to the mainstream. ANDI

Hurray Ruthie!!! I'm SOOOOOO SUPER PROUD OF YOU!!! That is just awesome! It's amazing the huge "high" you get after you exercise and break out of your shell. It's an amazing feeling! Keep it up, it just gets better and better! Deanna
