SECRET WITNESS 529-1268 The healthiest family on the dance floor As an obese child, I hated P.E. When choosing teams, I was always picked last, each side trying to give me to their opponent. When playing baseball, I would be strategically placed in "ultra right field" (outside the foul line if possible) so as to have virtually no contact with the ball, thereby helping to ensure my team would not be humiliated by my clumsiness. In the gym, I was forced to do pull-ups by a drill-sergeant phys-ed teacher. Dangling from the steel crossbar in front of a gaggle of snickering classmates, too heavy to do anything but limply hang, kicking my feet as if that would help pull me up, the coach bellowing, "Come on tubby! If you can't do it, go on a diet." Disgusted, he'd discharge me from my personal hanging purgatory and I'd attempt to blend into the back of the class, hoping for a distraction to come quickly and pull everyone's red hot gazes from me. One doesn't "hang around" much when one goes to Zumba as 58-year-old, but one's old memories do. My biggest fear when I began was that I would pass out.
