Who Says 15lbs Isn't a Lot?

 So yesterday I was visiting my boyfriend and he 2 month old granddaughter was there.  She weighs a whopping 15.4lbs!  This is one super baby.  I was walking around with her and I could barely carry her.  I know I'm not in that great of shape but this kid was big.  Made me realize that 15lbs is a big deal.  I remember when I had "only" lost 15lbs and felt like that wasn't much.  I will never look at 15lbs the same again.

It's always amazing when you can put your weightloss into a palpable context.

it really is something how we carried that additional weight with us all the time....I watch my niece 1 day a week...she is 8 months and about 16lbs.  doesn't seem like much unless I am carrying her around or lifting her off the floor.  I think about it when I pick up a 50lb bag of dog food too, and can barely get it in/out of the cart.  I don;t look at things the same way anymore either.

 she is too freakin cute. ugh i hate having the baby bug! lol

 After 5 kids and 4 grandkids I am through with the baby bug but she is so squeezeable.  This sounds bad but I love fat babies and fat dogs.  You should see my Chihuahua Princess.  She has practically doubled in size since she was fixed.

fat babies are the cutest thing ever I love those ham hocks and fat cheeks

Wow! Thanks for sticking it right to me LadyTazz! I'm up almost 15 pounds from where I want to be lately and now I'm going to feel like I'm packing a whole kid worth of extra weight around today - LOL!

(doc says my thyroid blew up and I am as of last Friday now on meds so hopefully it goes back away soon)

Seriously, though. Thanks very much for this. It does help a lot to keep in mind how much 15lbs really is so I can keep it from turning into 50 (or more).

oh, and hope your week is going better than the one you had last week!
