NSV I have been a choir teacher for the last 20 years and tonight I will perform in my first musical ever. I never had the confidence as an overweight teen to put myself out there and was given the opportunity to play the adult in our spring musical "Footloose" along with my students. It has been an amazingly rewarding experience to act alongside them and to perform my solo on stage for them. I am not yet to where I would like to eventually be weight-wise, but I never would have been able to keep up with them or have been brave enough to say yes to this 90 pounds ago. Even if you are still a work in progress, take the risk. I wish I would have years ago!
