Pole dancing (Is this an NSV?)



Recommended Posts

Hi,

Now that I caught your attention:

I am looking for an exercise class to learn how to pole dance. Really and Seriously. This is a new Hollywood/CA trend. I bet Penni would know. Lets ask her. Cause I am seriously considering taking a class if such a class were available. I want to feel sexy and also get exercise. My secret fantasy would be to pole dance in my bedroom in high heels and lingerie.

OK, now to my NSV: I was joking with a client and I mentioned how I was going to start taking karate lesson and maybe a pole dance class to get some exercise since I stopped going to the gym. This is a 6 year client that I provide recruiting services for so we talk about pretty much anything since we know each other so well. He knows what I look like now and he also knows about my weight loss journey. He didnt laugh at me (NSV #1) and he said jokingly that if I took the class he most defintely would like to see me dance for him...... (NSV 2?) I do take this as a compliment. I guarantee you no one would have wanted to see me pole dance at 334 pounds......!!!

So who knows where I could take such a class here in TX?

I'm just shocked! How terrible. How could you all consider such, especially you Doll.

BTW, could you let me know the date you'll be there? An address would help too. :(

Well perhaps you can make this a goal for the next Vegas Bash. I'm sure the Devine Ms D can locate an empty pole for ya and we'll ALL be there in the front row! I've never seen a pole dance, but I'd show up just to support a sister!

I have only seen representations on TV... I think we should all go and consider it an educational and cultural experience.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
