Gogo Dancing

[Dakota]

I have a slight issue, now that I am thinking about, my weight lost goal was to become a gogo dancer at the end (that's the whole point of it all or else I'll still be eating normal). Basically dancing in skimpy outfits at a night club, and getting tips by people (men) who enjoy the dancing. It's like stripping except without the nudity.

Okay, I want to do this, but I am now worried if I tell my mother she would be totally against and ashamed of me (predictable lol), and I still live with her. But I need the money, and she likes money, and she told me that she wanted to be a stripper when she loses weight (I told her to do it). But that's different from me being a gogo dancer, since she probably doesn't want me to do it. And she didn't lose weight.

But I realize at my current job I'm only going to make 4k a year (it just stinks), and if I was a gogo dancer I could make 30-40 k realistically then put the majority in the bank for the future. It's just the wisest decision for me.

i don't see a need to tell your mom about wanting be a gogo dancer until you get to your goal weight and you're actually applying for the jobs. there's no reason to tell her now and upset her since you haven't been actually hired yet and all it will do is upset her. if you tell her when you're applying for the job or after you've gotten it, even if she's mad and wants you to move out or whatever you'll have a big enough paycheck coming soon so you can get your own place or a hotel room until you can find somewhere else to stay. i just think it's silly to tell her what you might possibly do in the future since she'll just get upset, and it won't benefit you to tell her now... you should just wait and cross that bridge when you come to it.

also not to be a downer, but i think that earning 30-40,000 a year as a gogo dancer is HIGHLY unrealistic. plus, i think gogo dancing and stripping are kind of similar, so i get how your mom feels. even though you're not getting naked, i'm sure you'll be in something skimpy and you are trying to be sexy.. idk it's just not that different from stripping to me. xo

yeah...

I am just going to test the waters a bit... like walk around in a sexy outfit at home when I reach 160 lbs... if she's fine with that then she probably be accepting.
