Lilah ,'Not Fade Away'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
the goals for the gymnast are: 1. Face failure
2. Release others' expectations.
3. Redefine success
4. Accept body reality
5. Become a risk taker.
Hmm. A good place to start for all of us, I think. I'm curious about the body unreality -- in a situation where the body's such an instrument, don't you have to be realistic about it to make it do its job? Or is it an expectation thing?
And, speaking of risks -- the balance beam. IJS.
Horn away, JenP.
Also, Did DX cheat to get one?
Nope, but I did have the advantage of knowing exactly when the new thread went live.
She's not a gymnast anymore. She stopped being a gymnast after a blowout at the Olympic Trials. For a few years after, she just stayed at home, didn't do anything, gained weight, remained unhappy.
And she's not fat. She's just not having the body of someone whose job is a gymnast.

Maybe even though she's not a gymnast anymore, she's still expecting her body to be as it was when she was practicing all the time?
edit: or Kat can explain it better.
I'm all excited about a short & sweet natter title. No colons or anything!
I know! I like the short natter title.
All of those goals are actually ones that still apply to me now. So maybe I'll print them up and put them on the computer.
So what did I get?
33! Excellent!
Consider yourself busted, sweety. Please leave the coldest room in the house and go lie down. With a blanket!
yes, but did you see the part about the chocolate cupcakes?
I've seen Tom and Nora together -- I don't doubt that he'll make her chocolate cupcakes.
Crap - I let the dogs out and I missed both the cupcakes and the turning of the thread.
