I've lost more than my grandson weighs!

Aug 11, 2009

Went to my son's house last night for his birthday.  My cute little (tiny) daughter-in-law went to his fav restaurant and bought just ONE piece of his favorite dessert.....Death by Chocolate just so he could blow out candles.  Since they just got married on Saturday (made if "official" after 8 years together), they had loads of wedding cake left, so she didn't want to buy yet another entire cake.  Now that's something I would never have thought of....you can NEVER have too much cake, right?  Well...it was good for me because...hey, no temptation.

(My son was the one who took me to the hospital for my surgery....he was amazingly supportive.  I felt a bond that I haven't had with him in a really long time.  I guess it was the first chance he had to be MY support....role reversal I guess.  He's a great dad and a very loving person, but never had to step up to the plate like this before.  He stayed with me the entire day after surgery.....I'll never forget it...I love him so much).

So....last night he kept saying how different I look....that my face is soooo much thinner.  He was like, really MOM...you really look THIN!  I laughed, thinking 197 is NOT THIN!  When he asked me how much weight I've lost and I told him 46 lbs, he said.....go pick up Alex....he's 46 pounds! We all had a chuckle that my scrawney 7 year old grandson weighs just about as much as I've lost.

Interesting perspective!  Hey....I think I DO feel thin...LOL
