I've worked with eating disorders and I've worked with obesity. I'd rather deal with 100 obese folks than one crazied, self-absorbed ED client. They are a professional nightmare.

I was making a comment, semi-professionally.

BTW, my teaching dance and performing DOES pay well, quiet well. Success is gadged not by age or 'weight' but by dancing skill, bookings, requests for workshops, number of classes and students. So I'm not quitting it either, because I'm VERY good at it. Yes, very good in this little hobby of mine. That picture was from one of the best performances I ever gave.

Congratulations, najida! You've hit the irony trifecta in this thread.

A little more intensity in your belly dancing workout will help yer spare tire. Just my non-professional opinion.

Oh for cryin out loud, are you new here? I dance as a hobby. Everyone knows that!

My profession, the one that I have the degrees in is Nutrition, Clinical at that. (and yes, I have a tire, but hitting 50 and menopause does that to a gal).

Since I was just bantering, my opinion was semi-professional.

For a professional opinion, you pay me by the hour :)
