Now none of you will know this, but I am not a fan of anything that lives underwater, in a tank or anything that flies. So that covers sharks, fish, dolphins, eels (they are the worst!) snakes, birds – you get the picture right?
So we were at the zoo and there was a dolphin show. My boyfriend has swam with dolphins and said it was a great experience and a must do. I said I’d never swim with a dolphin because I am scared of them. Ok, I know why would anyone be scared of a dolphin? Well I don’t know why I am scared of dolphins, but anything that lives in the great unknown under the sea is just really creepy to me.
I said I didn’t want to feel how slimy they are, and how unpredictable these animals are. He told me to stop being silly and that I should definitely swim with them if I got the chance. Anyway, we watched the show and on it went, the dolphins were amazing and I was so amazed at how great they were and how they were so responsive to their trainers. The show ended and they announced that you could get your photo taken with a dolphin.
I joked that I should do it and then my boyfriend offered to pay the money for it. So I nervously went and got in the queue, which was ever so short and before I knew it, there I was stroking a dolphin and getting my photo taken.
Now, I know this has not a lot to do with my weight loss, but I would never have done this when I was bigger. I would not have put myself on show and had a photo taken with an animal, I would never have had the confidence to do it. So I guess, I am well on the way to getting over myself!
