A couple of months ago TT7 started going back to Dance classes. When we walked into her first practice I was shocked at how toothpick thin all the other girls were. I kept questioning if I was doing the right thing or if it would lead to bigger issues I didn’t want her to face. But she LOVES to dance. She tries her absolute hardest for every move at every practice. There was no denying she has the heart of a dancer so I let her dance.
Today, I stayed to watch the first 15 minutes of her practice. She was doing everything the teacher asked with such excitement. Then all of a sudden it hit me…she is starting to look like the other girls. She is much more fit and flexible than when she started. I just stood there crying. I realized that her size isn’t going to hold her back from anything she dreams of doing. That is priceless. It’s worth way more than all the time, energy, and money we’ve invested into healthy eating.
What an amazing moment to look back on when I'm tired and ready to give up...
