NSV: I've lost 1.6 two-year-olds...How about you?

auntlucy · July 16, 2008

I'm on vacation this week, and when we were walking through Sea World today, I was carrying my 31 pound 2-year-old nephew. He was getting very heavy and didn't want me to put him down and didn't want anyone else to carry him. Suddenly I had the thought that I used to be carrying around that much weight plus about 20 pounds. That made me very happy about my progress and reminded me of how much better I feel without that extra weight. That was a great NSV moment! And, it gave me the momentum to keep going. :blush:

So, what analogy can you use to really make your weight loss come to life?

If I use your analogy, I've lost all three of my children (42lbs, 36 and 36)---

We were walking this weekend and my 4 year old wanted to be picked up...I didn't even make it .5 mile....too heavy and hard and I was SWEATING!!!

When I'm at goal, I'll have lost the dog as well!

I've lost one 2-year-old brat. Guess that's why they don't let me babysit anymore.:biggrin2:

I have almost lost my 17-month-old twins. They are 20 and 23 pounds . . . so, 8 more pounds to go and I'll have lost them.

And here I thought it was great when I finally got all 13 pounds of them out of my belly at their birth! Little did I know it would feel better to lose them as toddlers! haha!
