I danced! I was so worried I wouldn't be able to, it was hard to get myself to go because I love dancing and wanted to go but I was so anxious that I wouldn't have the energy to dance well and that my fat would jiggle everywhere and I'd look disgusting while I danced. Nevertheless I went and I managed to make it through my class which is great! I even managed to spend less time staring at my body and more time focussing on improving my technique, I even learnt the 2nd step to my new slip jig (for some reason I find slip jigs the hardest of all the dances).
So a big step forward in that regard. I'm still having issues with my body but I'm more accepting of all of it except my bum so that may take a big more time.
I went to my psychiatrist the other day and she thinks the flu is working, she said that I won't notice the effects until a little later but than she noticed I was talking a lot less about my body. We spent most of the time talking about our mutual love of Faulty Towers, "BASIL!" Hehe.
So hopefully I continue getting better, I hope I haven't jinxed myself by posting this!
Yehhhh well done to you. Keep up the good work. Fantastic achievement/.☺
Yey! Thats great news Pippa. I think improvement sometimes creeps up slowly then one day you realise youve forgotten you have an illness, even if its just for a day or two to begin with - sounds like you're getting there :-)
Hope you continue to improve lots
Takw care

thankyou vix, I've had a little slip today, very upset over my body but I'm trying not to let it get to me. It may be because I woke up at 5:30 for a dental operation so the tiredness may have affected my emotions. 
Well done you! Fantastic news to hear! Sounds like its defo working! Slips are very normal though, so when you have them, remember that feeling of being able to dance again for the first time and how you learnt a new move!! :-) xx
only just seen this, brilliant, well done you! xx
Tiredness makes everything so much harder :-( hope youre feeling brighter again n in the words of that cheesy tv programme...."keep dancing!" :-)
