  • my "little" celebration

    good morning friends!!! well, i feel rather silly posting this today but i am excited. in light of all the REALLY COOL celebrations here today (WAY TO GO ADENA!!!) this is really small potatoes but here i go.

    since returning from rome and continuing with my atkins life, i, big dummy as i am (will i EVER learn!?) have been watching the scale and i've not been really discouraged but just more determined i guess to get things going again. i have not cheated, strayed, goofed, NOTHING!

    yesterday i had to take a break from being nurse at home and ran my kiddo who is starting middle school out for a few new things at old navy. i saw the cutest fitted brown skirt. LOVED it. i grabbed a size 8 and ran in to try it on. mini me and her friend were across the aisle in the other room. IT WAS WAY TOO BIG! i sent her to get me the 6. tried it on and it FIT with a little room to spare.

    she said in her LOUDEST MIDDLE SCHOOL VOICE...."MOM, YOU ROCK...I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!" so it is official...now i have 3 size 6 goodies in my closet. i celebrate 3 things today...
    1. fitting into a size 6 skirt with room to spare
    2. learning that the # on the scale does not make ME, inches matter (finally)
    3. BEST OF ALL.......my middle school girl thinks I ROCK...SHE IS PROUD OF ME NOT FOR BEING THIN, BUT FOR WORKING HARD AND BEING SUCCESSFUL AT WHAT I SET OUT TO DO.....WHAT A COOL LESSON FOR HER.

    thanks for letting me share!

      You have reached the top girl.
      Whan your kid or any kid for that matter gives you a compliment like that you have officially made it.

      I read in anonther one of your posts where you try to teach your school kids about proper nutrition and exercise. You are a special kind misplaced southerner. I was impressed with that post.

      Be sure and give psycho pup a hug from me.

            That's so great! I'm so happy the size 6 fits you and more thrilled that your teen can say something nice to you in public!

            You're a great mom!

            I'm glad your son is feeling a little better.

                  Betsy -- all our celebrations are big ones!! And you'd better believe that if I was in a size 6 (holy cow!!!) and getting compliments from my too-cool pre-teen, I'd be shouting from the rooftops! So glad that you shared. What an awesome example you are setting for mini-me. You know what, Cheesy? You DO rock!
