I am sure many of you that are further along on our journey have had a friend or family member call you "skinny" as a sweet compliment to your weight loss. It has happened to me a couple of times over the past year. Well, I knew I was far from it still but I just smiled and said "Thank you".

Well, yesterday morning on the way to church, I was riding in the back seat with my 4 yr old (not normal) and commented how much room there was back there now. My son, as with most kids at this age, is brutally honest. He stated that I fit so well because I was SKINNY.

Skinny? Me? Really? Wow, it is so awesome that my son sees me like that way. I am not the fat mom any more. Yay!!

Well you know when it comes from a kid it's official. So congrats and continued success.

That is awesome!! So funny how they have that way of making you light up inside with their words! Congrats to you on your wonderful NSV!

That is so cute!! That's great!!

I asked my son the other day (the brutally honest 9 y.o.) if I look any different now, and he's was like "oh ya- like....WAY!"

Awesome!!!! ...

I love it! Yeah, a four-year-old will simply call it as he sees it! You are offically skinny! LOL!

Susan~

That is an awesome NSV! You have done an amazing job and you are just a twinkle from goal! I am gonna watch for your goal post I am sure it will be soon!

LOVE it

One time I was showing off a corset I bought at a faire to my sister and my nephew was poking and pushing my "hard" belly that was sucked in because of the corset. He said, where did your belly go? I said well its just underneath this hard material here. He said, can you make it come back? I said yep. But why? Do you not like my belly? And he said I love your belly because it is squishy. He was 4 lol.

I just hope he does not miss it when it is gone for good! Hahaha Kids are so cute with their brutal honesty.

That's gotta feel great. I'd love to see the victory dance:D

Awesome!! My sister (6) has said that I am skinny, but is glad that I still have big boobs :wub: ... brutally honest for sure!

I loved hearing my girl friend's external voice as she was walking out of my house. She had her head down and stated, "I can't handle you skinniness!." This just made me smile. And yes, I do love my skinniness.

That is sooo awesome!! And your kid is sweet!

Yayyyyy Skinny Minnie

Love this!!!

I was called a "skinny b*tch" by a girlfriend (who knows I've been sleeved) and it made my day too! (Because it was all in fun, but I have NEVER been called that my whole life!)

It's so true! You are SKINNY! Do you love your skinniness? I do!
