Bellydancing is making me feel like a big fat fatty fat fat (whiney vent)

Even though I've been overweight for sometime, I've never really felt just fat. But when you have a wall of mirrors to stare into and a room full of skinny b's with tiny bellies and you can see every muscle in their abdomen...you start to feel like a blimp. And admittedly, I gain the majority of my weight in my belly...and also not all the other ladies are so skinny and fit that you can see all their ab muscles. But I am the biggest person in the class.

It makes me want to quit going to class but at the same time I love it so much I don't want to quit. Bellydancing is supposed to make you feel and look hot and sexy and I just don't feel it (or look it) compared to my fellow dancers.

Boo.

Whiney whiney fat vent over.

I am sure you are live and that your DH thinks you are sexy as hell! Don't quit if you love it!

skinny minis don't belong in belly dancing! You need some belly and hips to belly dance. Keep at it and don't look at their boney non-womenly bodies. Just rock your sexy bod!
