On Wednesday night, whilst doing the aerobic dirty dance, The Aerobic Dance Instructor gave me the ultimate compliment.
"So perfect, Y. I must take picture because it's so perfect."
I believed her when she said it and left the class swollen with pride and cockiness. I came home and told Tony "I think my instructor REALLY loves having me in her class, because I keep up with her and know all the moves."
Ummm...
After watching myself do The Dirty Dance on video, I'm PRETTY DAMN SURE that her compliment wasn't sincere and that she was secretly mocking me, knowing that compliments only encourage me to "try even harder" and "take the dance even more seriously than I already do, which TRUST ME, is VERY seriously."
I wish I could tell you that "Haha, I just have fun with it and don't take it seriously at all." But, the faces that I make whilst spanking the air would prove that to be A LIE.
LIIIIIEEEEEEESSSSS.
(There may be a subliminal message hidden somewhere in the video and that subliminal message may very well be "Look! I wasn't lying when I said that I gained 10 pounds back, except it was actually TWELVE POUNDS, but hey, I've lost 5 of the twelve, thank you Aerobic Dancing.)









I think you look fabulous. We are all our own worst critics. I'm with your instructor: you are "so perfect"!
