pasquini 369 Posted August 13, 2011 So I took my kids to the y to swim. For yrs I have worn a shirt while swimming. I stood in the locker room deciding if I would go sans shirt. Back an forth back and forth my mind argued with itself. Finally i decided why not! So with slightly trembling hands I tossed the shirt in the locker grabbed my 4 yr olds hand and heade to the pool. My other 3 were already out there. So as I come out of the locker room my 13 yr old son is walking back in. He stops, and gets this funny look on his face and says "ok dad, 1st (at this point my heart is running to hide as I soo have carry guilt about my weight embarrassing my kids) ... 1st you have lost ALOT of weight!!!! 2nd you look Great!!" an then he smiled this goofy 13 yr old my Dad rocks smile. I almost cried! Very manly tears of course. :-) 2 SKCUNNINGHAM and smileforamile91 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pasquini 369 Posted August 15, 2011 @ct Dude, this is the best decision I have ever made both for me and my kids. Finnally if I try to lose I do. After a life of inability to beat obesity I am winning. It is good! Really Good!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
