I've gained 30 pounds over the last 3ish years, and have been ashamed of it...but last night, I danced like no one was watching with my niece and nephews, some of whom have likewise gained a lot of weight over the last 3 years. I hope that was a good example for them - I know society would say I'm not as "cute" dancing as I was when I was svelte and thin, but I hope they could see that I can still have as much fun dancing now as I did then!

It's how we feel, not how we look, that should matter to us.
