Today is the day...

Hello, I am a 26 yr old mother of two little boys. My oldest who is six told me last week the most distrubing comment i have ever heard him say...."mom the kids in my class talk about how fat you are and it makes me mad". What do you say? Do you tell him that your sorry or how about those kids are just mean. No. Im not doing this anymore. My first grader is coming home embarrased and ashamed of his mothers weight. Since when did this happen? I knew it would happen eventually, you cant hide a 300lb elephant in the closet for long, but even I didnt know what "fat" was at that age. I figured id have another couple of years to loose this weight before he'd get teased...you know we are all procrastinators. Well time has come for me to get off my lazy butt. TODAY IS THE DAY...God help me!
