Interesting night at the ball field. I took the boys bubble gum and sunflower seeds for on the bench like I always do but forgot to bring with me on Tuesday. I heard the coach tell the boys to thank Brian's mom. One of the boys asked my son where his mom was. He pointed to me and the kid said "that's not your mom. Your mom is fat." Then looked again and said "holy crap that is your mom. She's like all skinny now"

My son told him that I run to the games and the boy came over and said "You are a beast" High praise from 10 year olds tonight!!!

    That is so awesome! God knows my 11 year old stepson is my most honest friend, lol! He does not sugar coat anything. He once told a friend of mine that her shirt made her look desparate. I guess that was his polite way of telling her to go put some clothes on....haha!

    Wow! That is so awesome. My 4 yr old daughter is super honest too. I just started my weight loss journey a week ago. She recently said "You're fat. Mommy." OUCH! That hurt, but it was the truth! Your weight loss is very inspirational and I hope to get lots of weight of like you have! Thanks for your post.

    That's an AWESOME compliment. One of my daughters friends brother called me that last year and I had to ask what it meant. When they told me I was thrilled! The friend also told me that her brother really meant it. I love being around my daughters classmates and helping at their school.
