I know there is a thread on this already, but I wondered how many of you had an "ugly duckling" experience as a kid.
For me, I was told when I was little kid growing up that I was too fat, constantly told that I was chubby or 'solid'. As a teen I was constantly reminded that I had 'puppy fat', teased for having no boobs and no tan. Kids teased me at school, I had no friends, boys used to throw 5 cent pieces at me and girls would dump their lunch (eg yogurt and runny stuff) on me. I spent half my school life elsewhere avoiding the mess my peers were creating for me emotionally.
As a young adult, I've had two boyfriends tell me I'm not fit enough, thin enough, too wobbly, and my last boyfriend actually judged a bikini contest, came home and told me I was a 4 out of 10 compared to the girls on stage. My most recent ex dumped me to 'play the field' with women who I don't even consider attractive!! I guess all of this cultivated zero self esteem or confidence.
But I did something about it and cut out these negative people and realised I had the power to change anything, and that I had a choice. So I got a university degree (despite missing so much high school), and a full time job in the fitness industry. Got myself a nice set of boobs (people don't even know they're pretend- very tasteful), lost weight and toned up, and sport a tan. I'm a size 8-10, fit, strong and you know what? I think I am actually pretty.
Why will I dance then? Because I never thought I would be hot enough for men to look at. Now that I am, they can damn well pay for it!! :o)
(and of course the $$, I love a challenge, and I like the pretty clothes you get to take off...hehe, and I love love dancing).
Do any of you guys have a similar story or were you all born gorgeous??

Money Makes Me Horny
. No one asked me I had to ask them to a dance. Most of the time I didnt even go to my homecomings b/c no one would ask me. At least I had one bf during HS who loved me dearly. We were at different HS's still at my HS I was the girl no one really talked to or wanted to admit they talked to. With my awkward uncool clothing, crazy unruly hair, shyness I turned it all around to become a pretty stripper years later.
