For the first time in my life today someone called me graceful. I was roller skating in the park and an older lady on her bike came up to me and said how much she admired my skating and even asked if I was a figure skater!

I was shocked. I’m a big girl (size ten), and I’ve never been considered graceful by anyone. My mom always says my walk is lumbering and ugly.

Is there a way I can incorporate the “gracefulness” of my skating into my daily life? I know as I lose weight I’ll look more graceful, but I’ve put a pause on my weight loss for a little while because my hair started falling out.

What do you guys do to look or appear graceful? Is this even a transferable/learnable skill?
