it's okay, if you don't have any rhythm. if you practice on it you will be a good dance and you can also use it as a way to work out. as for your husband making fun of you, i would've challenged him to see if he could do it better and laughed at him. you know, make it a fun night for you both. not everyone is a good dancer but trying still helps. i know, i'm not very good, but i might try a dance video like salsa dancing or something.

I want to crawl on the floor with my grandchildren.
I want to be able to try new things that I now fear I'm to big for, like snorkeling. I want to volunteer more. I want to stop hurting.

My reasons...
1. I want to be able to keep up with my children. 2. I want my feet and knees and back to hurt less. 3. I want to feel good in my body. 4. I want to not feel self-conscious when I eat in public. 5. I want to ride bikes with my family and not feel like I look silly, perched on top of a bicycle seat. 6. Adult-onset diabetes runs in my family. I don't want to be the next one. 7. I teach high school students. I don't want to be the subject of mean weight-related comments. 8. I want to coach my daughter's soccer team. 9. I want to be able to buy clothes in regular stores. 10. For my family.....I want to hike, camp, kayak, canoe, play raquetball, swim, bike, and do all the active things that my husband and I did before I got fat. I want to share my love of the outdoors with my kids, so they don't end up in my situation. I want to be a good role model for them!

I want for other women to stop hitting on my bf when we are out....because they think because they are thin they can just take him if they want.....Thankfully, he hasn't seemed to take the bait yet.....lol.... We were out doing karaoke last Saturday, and three women came up to dance with him when he was singing....would they have done that if I were thin and attractive? Maybe....
I have had several women make plays for my husbands/bfs whatevers over the years.....who told people they thought they could get them to leave because I was fat and they were thinner. It is so disrespectful....but I guess that is life. We are judged by our "appearance" and some people feel automatically more "worthy" if they are thin and I am fat. I know if I lose weight, that does not guarantee me anything....but at least I won't be judged immediately as "less than" because of being fat.

I want to be able to walk up the stairs without losing my breath
I want to be able to fit into clothes in the "teens" not the 20s. I want to be less self conscious and not be worried that the people that are laughing right by me are laughing at me! I want to find a man who loves me or who will give me a second look!! I want to comfortable fit in the seats at a concert arena.
