Children say the darndest things.

Have you ever had your child look at you, out of the blue, and just completely blow your mind? I have. My 6 year old son looked at me about a month ago and said, "you have a fat belly mom, you are going to have a baby soon". I have to tell you that it shocked me the first time, but, after the third and fourth time I started to take notice. I even went out and bought new bluejeans so that I did not dunlap over the tops of them anymore.
I decided to do something about it, so I bought that lap belt that you see advertised on television, the Contour, and read through all of the directions, started to watch not only what I eat but also what me family is eating and used the belt as the directions had stated.
It has now been about 3 1/2 weeks and let me tell you something, I am impressed! My pants that I bought now have to be held up by a belt, the old pants that I have are still tight, but not nearly as bad. I have noticed that the all loved mommy tummy is starting to shrink and my stomach is starting to show a slight bit of definition.
I can not tell you how it made me feel to have such a young child say "your fat", but I can tell you that I am sure glad that he did. I had not realized how much weight I was gaining, and not onlly me but my husband also. It is truly amazing that the simple words of one so young can make you realize things that you don't normally. And I am so glad that he did, I can honestly say that I feel better, not only about the way that I look, but also, that now I notice the little things that I was doing, such as cooking in an unhealthy manner, when it comes to my family. We are now eating better, and let me tell you that that was not an easy one to do.
The thing that I love most about this is that I can wear it and do homework, wash dishes, whatever I want to do and do not have to pay the expensive prices at the gym, nor do I have to kill myself and my back with the never ending sit ups. Yeah!
