Little kids...aren't they cute? Not!

I know how kids can be...I have three of them. They don't mean to hurt our feelings...they're just being honest, but sometimes it's just too honest. 

I dropped off my kindergartener to school today and as she was signing in, this lovely (sarcastic) little boy came up to me, looked me up and down then stared at my belly and asked me if I was pregnant. I calmly said no....he then asked again very loudly,  "why is your stomach like that then?"

I just responded with the first thing that came to my mind. I said, "Well, I'm just fat." I know, I know there should have been a better answer but at that moment it didn't come to me. I know he wouldn't have understood if I even tried to explain, but I really wanted to say, "Look little man, I have been working my butt off for the last two months and I look damn good!"

I can't wait for the day...that I no longer have to worry that some small person is going to say some--I'm sure unintentional but, nonetheless--nasty remark or whether I will fit into the theater chair at my children's school; actually I tried this the other day and yippee for me, I did not have a problem! I can't believe how losing 35 lbs has changed me so much. Life is definitely good...even with the occasional snags!!!
