My (almost) 10 yr old told me this morning that my face looked different so I told him that that is the last place I gain and the first place I lose. When I told him I lost 18 lbs already, he was shocked. He went into the other room and told his brothers to come look at my face because I'd lost 18 lbs in my face... lol. Gotta love it when your kids notice the difference.

On the fence about self-pay options and if Mexico is the right choice (or scared of that option)? Let my experience (first time ever in Mexico) be your guide. Don't let fear hold you back!
