Out of the mouths of kids

I was at work yesterday when I overheard two students talking about me. One was telling the other that I was too skinny.

I have heard the opposite of course, but never too skinny. I turned to them and said :THANK YOU and to think I have 47lbs to go to reach my goal". They were surprised I heard them. I walked back to my desk with a BIG smile on my face. That made my day.

Haha nice one, my daughter said to me one day you are skinny with a tight top on, will you lose them hips. I was happy enough she said my top part was skinny, but I have had big hips forever. Not sure if they will ever go away and just keep reminding her to cut back on her carbs, I hope she never has weight issues so I am glad she seen me at my worse and she will remember. She can't wait for me to get her size, haha I told her I will be wearing her clothes so she might want to rethink that.

LOL - my little nephew said to me the other day "Aunt Jen, you're not fat anymore, you're skinny!" It helps me stay motivated to lose these 60lbs!

My 4 year old saw a picture of me carrying him and asked who the fat man was.

It made me realize that he has no recollection of me being fat since my surgery was 2 1/2 years ago when he was just 2 years old.

Kids say the darndest things.
