weight loss and funny story
Ok, so on June 19th I committed to work really hard to lose weight. I have done this in the past but never last long. This time I joined Weight Watcher with a friend. We went to our first meeting on June 21st. By that time I was already done 4-5 lbs from when I first weighed few days before starting. our second meeting I was down 6 more lbs. and the 3rd meeting another 3 lbs for a total of 14 lbs. I go tomorrow to weigh in again and I think that I will be down another 3 lbs. So when I started this few weeks ago I made it a big deal to the kids that we were going to eat healthier and that they needed to support me not by telling me what a great job I am doing but by not asking or eating the junk food around me. By going for walks with me and help me be more active. So the first week went by and Here is the funny story. Jakob went to a friends house and I walked him over. I did not have my glasses on and his friends little brother (4yr old) noticed. He said "you look different" His mom started to say it was because I did not have my glasses on but before she could finish Jake jumps in and yells out to everyone that could hear, "that is because she is loosing weight" Ok so I felt funny about it at the time. I am glad that he is thinking about it and helping me but it felt weird and uncomfortable talking about it to our neighbor. another week or so has past and I am still loosing. Jakob last night came over to get a hug before going to bed and he squeezed me and then said "mom I like you the way you are because you are so soft" ok, me "laughing". Jake "I know that you have to loose weight but I still like you the way you are because you are sooo soft" and then turns to Erik and says "Dad you and I are sticks" So do I want to be soft or a stick? He's so funny.
