Fine, I'll do it. Size 8 jeans, medium yoga pants. The b/f said, you should go smaller on the yoga pants - uhh REALLY?! crazy.<br /><br />b/f and I had subway yesterday while up in Estes Park, CO - we split a footlong, and decided to make it ONE combo - one drink and one bag of chips - only ONE bag?! for BOTH of us to share?! I can't do this! well we rationed out the chips - it was perfect. <br /><br />I always THINK I need more food than I really do, and I always THINK I need BIGGER clothes than I do. <br /><br />p.s. how come men lose weight faster than women? I don't remember the reason, whatever it is, it's a pisser!<br /><br />Cindy in COAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-31988650945023060932010-08-16T13:38:29.123-05:002010-08-16T13:38:29.123-05:00The influence we are as parents... so very powerfu...The influence we are as parents... so very powerful!xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12346245087447662377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-90680212608191909002010-08-16T13:35:06.546-05:002010-08-16T13:35:06.546-05:00Love the jeans label picture.

Mine leaves to go back to college in two weeks - I blinked, and he is a grown man. I know that the vast majority of his talents came from his Maker, his ancestors and his own development too. But please, yes take some credit - for that little person has spent their whole time here in your care.

I mean I am not to the point that I would go into a KFC with a buffet and just trust myself, not yet. I have a history with KFC too that needs distance before I try that. <br /><br />I love Courtney's letter! I am finishing up my Bachelors Degree this year and the desk, thing she mentions, I get that! It is my hope that in my last semester, I fit the desks too. Tell Court I know she don't know me, but I am very proud of her. Most kid her age would just deal with the overweight facet and move on, she has the courage and determination to take it on, and that makes her very special. And never underestimate your influence in that process. Lauren is starting to see what I am doing and is really taking notice. She is only slightly overweight but has watched me struggle and so now when she is eating, she asks me how many calories in this? Since she is only 8, I hope to get to her early on and make a difference in her adolescence, make her road smoother than mine and Kathy's.Shane G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16220002629075223076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-16741446172169461762010-08-16T03:36:37.790-05:002010-08-16T03:36:37.790-05:00wow Courtney is a very inspirational young lady, s...wow Courtney is a very inspirational young lady, she looks so happy, it's wonderful to see..<br /><br />Congrats on the jeans LOL :) Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18105947756182868044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-714878545085956082010-08-16T01:41:54.696-05:002010-08-16T01:41:54.696-05:00The jeans thing made me smile!
