While I was driving my daughter to school today, she was being a bit weird and became silent. I asked her what was wrong and she said, " Ok, I am just gonna say it. You look weird to me".

I asked her what she meant by that and she replied, "I am used to seeing my big, fat, old, cheery mom and not this skinnier old cheery mom."

So, I instantly retorted that I was not old, just old-ER than her. I also thanked her for the compliment on my weight loss and reminded her that I was still the same cheery person.

She said it was gonna take some time to get used to seeing me shrink.

HAHAHA!

That made my day and I hope it lasts all week.

Way to go mom!! Several years ago, if someone had made that comment to me, it would have destroyed my diet and I would have gone back to being a perfect picture of what they needed me to be. Way to go for turning it around to be seen as a compliment and for politely letting her know that she needed to get used to the new you!

Awwww, from the mouths of babes!! My four year old asked me where my fat tummy went? Lmao!!!

I don't know whether or not to take it as a compliment or not when my youngest hugs me and says "Mom you're not a fluffy as you used to be". He is at that "truthful age", so I just accept the hug and I don't question it

wonderful indeed!

fat tummy?!?!?! Not as fluffy?!?!?!? Those is funny and amazing that kids say that.

Doesn't it make you feel good and make you laugh when they say stuff like that?
