ALLW8,
By the way BRAVO!!!! Great GAL'ing everyone give her some kuddos for going to the dance class and even sticking her brave neck out and asking for help. You know why the teacher gravitated to you, because you are actually starting to feel more confident and that is a magnet. Sometimes people have so much rejection in them and on them that it actually pushes people away subconsciously but on the other hand there are people who exude confidence and ever notice how people are attracted to them? Same concept.

Gosh that's a hard question because I have implemented both. I am a huge reader. I can inhale a book in a week. I'm gonna say for you to go ahead and finish DB/DR. I think this is going to be more of an impact as the season is your season to find you and be that confident you and not because you are trying to please H but because life is too short to not just relax and be who you are.

I would daily take 15-20 minutes to read. Educate yourself as much as possible on the subject. If it's too hard in the day, read 15 -20 right before bed. The more you educate yourself on adultery and infidelity the easier it'll help you walk through this season.

As far as to hug or kiss or what ever. I say just be yourself. Do what is natural for you to do or anyone would know, does that make sense. A dog barks and cat meows because that is their nature and what they were created to do, they don't have to think about it. You were made a certain way and that's why its so important for you to be yourself and pull out the confident girl you are-BUT it's not for ANYONE ELSE but you. You are not GAL'ing for your marriage you and all of us are GAL'ing for ourselves and I bet if I ask all of you this is one this we all-myself included-did not keep in our life. WE all should have already been doing these things and investing in our selves.

Hope you go girl!!! Lift those weights and yoga your booty off! Awesome! I have always fluxed up and down with weight too but the one thing is whenever I went to the gym and did my weights I always maintained weight better and consistently. Your really gonna love your new body more and more. Very cool I'm glad your pants are huge-that's a prob that we like LOL!

Get a few new clothing items to go with it. Get some nice form fitting stuff and maybe something you might not normally get. If your not sure there is this show that my DD17 and I love called what not to wear and its amazing! It shows you have to dress for each body type. Its on daily.
