Latin Dancing Helped Me to Lose Almost 100 Pounds!
In my high school years, I had begun to eat fast food. This became an eating style for me. It would follow me for the next ten years of my life. As you can imagine, being twenty-five years old and weighing 240 pounds, it is not that fun.
When I bought yet another pair of jeans that seemed almost as wide as a small car when I held them up, I finally made the decision that I was no longer going to live like this. I did not care what I had to do to begin losing weight, but I was going to make it happen. Even though I had a lot of feelings of hopelessness and despair, I also realized that I was still young enough and should be able to lose weight fairly easily if I put my mind to it.
I consulted with a physician. He set me up on a weekly menu schedule. I had to count calories. I also had to get regular cardio exercise into my weekly routine, several times a week. I had a friend who was taking salsa lessons. though, I was too self-conscious to join her in the actual classes at first, I did borrow her salsa dance DVDs and I began practicing salsa at home.
I found that I really enjoyed it. With my new diet, my new exercise routine (of salsa dancing at home) and swimming on weekends, the weight began to quickly fall away. After six months of practicing Latin dancing at home (using the dance DVDs), I finally felt confident enough with my body. I joined my friend in taking salsa classes. I loved it. I am still dancing today! Just 18 months after I began my lifestyle change, I am almost 100 pounds lighter and I feel fantastic!
