The other day I found my "after" picture from the first time I did WW, which was taken the same day I found out I was pregnant, October 29, 2008.
My daughter is 6 now and knows that I am trying to lose weight and to be healthier. I showed her the picture and told her I want to look like that again. She looked at the picture and commented that my hair looks different now, and that my glasses are different, too. She asked where the picture was taken (in a former house). And she noticed a picture of my husband and I in the background of us in Chicago. But she didn't comment at all on how different my body size is now compared to the picture. I weigh 80 pounds more now, so believe me, it's obvious. I finally said that I was a lot thinner then and felt better so that's how I want to look and feel again. Then she reached for my lower arm flab and asked "But will you still have this because I like how it jiggles!" lol... I told her that hopefully some of it goes away but I'm sure there will be enough for her to jiggle. ; )
I learned that children don't see us the way we see ourselves and they love us no matter what size we are.
