Oh I am sorry hunny! My daughter once told me if I was going to eat something I would "blow up" so I know the feeling. You are in the right place and you are going to take care of yourself!

I remember one time when I was probably around 10 my family was swimming at the lake near our house when a group of neighbor ladies showed up to swim. I said something to my mom along the lines of...you must have been embarrassed to get out of the lake in front of them. I don't think my mom ever went swimming in public again. She wasn't even that overweight, just a bit chunky. At the time, I know I had no intention to hurt her feelings, I just made a stupid observation and to this day, 20+ years later I still feel truly horrible that I would have said something so insensitive.

Your daughter is only 6 and I'm sure she has absolutely no idea how hurtful her comment was. You are taking steps to improve your health (I'm at goal weight and I HATE jumping rope, so good for you for doing that) and your daughter will eventually see that you did what needed to be done to be healthy. With any luck she will have no memory of her insensitive comment and when she is 31 like me she won't look back and think...omg, how could I have ever been so cruel without even realizing it!

from the mouths of babes

hearing that must have hurt a lot

give it a while

before you know it, you'll be jumping hoops around her!!!

then she might say something like

"hey mom not fair, you're going too fast!!"

one of they many good reasons people say they are loosing weight

is so they can enjoy being with their kids

as you loose weight, you will be able to keep up with others

head high, you will succeed

run after your daughter and catch her!!

good luck bud

I have a 5 year old who says mean things sometimes. They don't mean it to hurt us, they just don't have that ability to think before they speak yet. My son tells me my tummy is big all the time. I've just learned to laugh about it. I can't wait to lose this weight and have my son be proud of me.

yes that's true now that I have gotten out of the ohh that hurt moment I realized kids are going to be kids and I have 7 of them lol but I love them even when they so out spoken I use to be on the track team and I just want to loose this weight for I can beat them all at least once lol

When my son was 5 I was talking to a friend about a diet I was on and told her "there's a skinny girl in here somewhere" and patted my stomach and my five year old turned around saw me and loudly ask across the room "well momma why did you eat her?" I wanted the floor to open and swallow me! Kids are honest and sometimes it's brutal!

my 7 year all niece (10) years ago

said Aunt Kathy

why do you always wear the same blouse?

going over to my sisters house casually

(it was the only one that looked someone ok on me)

i was so embarrassed

i'm sorry your little one said that

but he'll realize sooner than later that you have lost weight

then he'll pay you a compliment like

wow mom, i'm so glad we can run and play together!!
