So I have had two very surprising comments from two young men who I didn't think would ever notice.
My step-son, whom I haven't seen since Christmas (I was sleeved Dec 29) came over last weekend. I was in the kitchen when he first arrived and he walked in, looked at me confused, and told me I looked a lot smaller. Then he proceeded to point out the areas that I have lost weight in. Bless his heart. This is the same child who 3 years ago told me outright that I was fat.
Then today, my sister-in-law and I go to the same gym. I went to say hello to my neice and nephews who were going to the daycare. I said hello to the oldest who is 10 and he also looked at me very puzzled for a few moments and then told me I looked a lot skinnier. Aww... my new favorite nephew.
Aside from the other comments I have received from church members and such, there is nothing like the honesty of a child. When it comes to being fat or skinny, they well tell you like it truly is. That certainly was motivation for my hour and half workout today.
