Kids are SO honest, it's a great thing truly...even if/when it's a lil' TOO honest.

 

So today my friend's 7 yr old son saw my new look and says "Who's that?" to his mom.. she very confused, asks him "what do you mean? Who's that? Who's who???" and he points at me..

 

This is a child I spend 2 days a week with if not more, however I hadn't seen him in 3 weeks... and he was CONVINCED I was NOT the same person. His direct quote... "That's not Ms. Yvette, Ms. Yvette is fatter."

 

His mother now mortified looks at me embarrassed and all I could do was laugh and tell her you know what? Kids are honest... if you ever want to know how you look, ask a child. LOL

 

This goes on with my other friend's 7 (and a half - as she says) yr old daughter telling me all of my clothes were HUGEEEEEEEEEEE as she helped me do laundry. Now after seeing my current size she says "Ok those look normal" lol... funny what a few inches of material can mean to a child's perception, or anyone's really. On the upside, I'm encouraged to continue on with my weightloss and continue on with this "transformation" I'm making... besides I know if I were to go back, I'd have two SUPER honest 7 yr olds to point back in the right direction lol.

 

In other news...fill on friday, still trying to figure out if I should get one.. i think so since I was able to eat two turkey dogs on whole wheat buns with no problem... Hmmmmmm just how much is the question... decisions, decisions...

Love it! Kids are so honest. You do look great...keep it up! I would get the fill if you are able to eat two dogs with a bun. Good luck. Look forward to hearing how it goes.

I would count both of the kids' remarks as NSVs (non scale victories)! Agree on the fill I would never be able to eat more than about half of one and that's good for me!
