Fat Chance

I've been working really hard at losing some weight. I have a few months before we are back on the trying to get pregnant bandwagon and I suddenly (last minute) felt motivated. I went to the Y yesterday with both kids in tow. Spent an hour or so there. I have been occasionally hopping on the scale to see where I am and access the situation. I'm down another 5 lbs and people are actually commenting. I usually judge how my clothes fit and start to enjoy the comments from friends and family. That is when you feel good. When someone else knows you are losing. You can look at yourself all day and convince yourself that you look better and are slimmer, but when someone else notices... that's the icing on the cake. Not that I'm eating the icing right now. Just saying.

So funny that you'd choose the "icing on the cake" expression in a post about losing weight! I am in a similar position, although my baby is two years old and I've finally been exercising to the point of people noticing and commenting. That is the best and motivates you to keep going. I've got two girls. I'm hoping we're going to have another--not sure if husband is 100% on board, though.

Your boys are soooo cute, btw.
