Oh I am sorry hunny! My daughter once told me if I was going to eat something I would "blow up" so I know the feeling. You are in the right place and you are going to take care of yourself!

I remember one time when I was probably around 10 my family was swimming at the lake near our house when a group of neighbor ladies showed up to swim. I said something to my mom along the lines of...you must have been embarrassed to get out of the lake in front of them. I don't think my mom ever went swimming in public again. She wasn't even that overweight, just a bit chunky. At the time, I know I had no intention to hurt her feelings, I just made a stupid observation and to this day, 20+ years later I still feel truly horrible that I would have said something so insensitive.

Your daughter is only 6 and I'm sure she has absolutely no idea how hurtful her comment was. You are taking steps to improve your health (I'm at goal weight and I HATE jumping rope, so good for you for doing that) and your daughter will eventually see that you did what needed to be done to be healthy. With any luck she will have no memory of her insensitive comment and when she is 31 like me she won't look back and think...omg, how could I have ever been so cruel without even realizing it!

@@skyjones

from the mouths of babes :wacko:

hearing that must have hurt a lot :(

give it a while

before you know it, you'll be jumping hoops around her!!! :lol:

then she might say something like

"hey mom not fair, you're going too fast!!" :o

one of they many good reasons people say they are loosing weight

is so they can enjoy being with their kids :)

as you loose weight, you will be able to keep up with others

head high, you will succeed :rolleyes:

run after your daughter and catch her!!

good luck bud :)

I have a 5 year old who says mean things sometimes. They don't mean it to hurt us, they just don't have that ability to think before they speak yet. My son tells me my tummy is big all the time. I've just learned to laugh about it. I can't wait to lose this weight and have my son be proud of me.

When my son was 5 I was talking to a friend about a diet I was on and told her "there's a skinny girl in here somewhere" and patted my stomach and my five year old turned around saw me and loudly ask across the room "well momma why did you eat her?" I wanted the floor to open and swallow me! Kids are honest and sometimes it's brutal!

my 7 year all niece (10) years ago

said Aunt Kathy

why do you always wear the same blouse?

going over to my sisters house casually

(it was the only one that looked someone ok on me)

i was so embarrassed

i'm sorry your little one said that

but he'll realize sooner than later that you have lost weight

then he'll pay you a compliment like

wow mom, i'm so glad we can run and play together!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
