Last night I hung out with my sister and her kids...as I typically do on Wednesdays. Nephew was totally on his game in his usual hilarity.
His first quote that left me a bit speechless was:
"Webgal, are you shrinking?"
At first I thought he was talking about my height and was joking. But he asked again and I finally figured out it was in regard to my weight. I think he may have overheard somebody say something about my weight loss and this is what triggered the comment. The kid has a crazy-good memory.
The second quote came at Walmart. We went there to get a few supplies and he bugged us the entire time to go to the toy area. Like every 5 seconds. But...due to his being a little loud and little disobedient in the store (thanks in part to my being there and his showing off), my sister decided not to visit the toy aisles. As we moved toward the front of the store to check out, Nephew said, "Where are we going? They toys aren't this way." My sister said we weren't going to visit the toys today and that he doesn't get to see the toys every time we go to the store. Well, naturally you can guess his reaction. Melt down. He started crying those big, fat tears. Then he said the quote:
"But I need the toys and they need me!"
I couldn't help but start laughing to myself. What a sense of drama.

Ha! I need the toys and they need me. That's way too cute.
And, he's right. You are shrinking!
I didn't know you were shrinking! Congratulations! I could learn from you. Me and the sugar thing are in an ugly tug-o-death. ;)
Thanks! I've "shrunk" 42 lbs now. Sugar is a hard thing to battle. I definitely know that. For some reason I have no desire to even eat it now. I'm so focused on coordinating my menu for the proper amounts of healthy food (2 fruits, 2 cups of raw veggies, 5oz of lean protein, 1/2 cup cooked veggies, 3 starches, 1 dairy, 1 fat) that I'm not even interested in sweets. Yesterday was my niece's 1st birthday party and I was going to allow myself 2 sugar/cream cheese mints. I had one and realized I didn't want another, so I didn't eat it. Strange, small victory. (In the past I would have eaten 10 or more.)
