Maternity Pants and Potato Soup

Ahhh two of my favorite things. And two things that are no more for me! So my little boy will be six months old next week and I still have been wearing a pair of my maternity pants. Not that my normal pants won't fit, but more that my preggo pants are just so damn comfortable! So I'm sitting on the couch this evening, relaxing, hanging out with my awesome friend Manda when to my horror I discover a hole! One of THOSE holes...where your pants rub together and the fabric gets all thin and eventually wears through. The kind of hole that skinny people don't know about! And this in my favorite, most comfortable pair of khakis...the only pants I have right now that don't feel like they are about to slice me right in half. So that's a bummer. Guess I just have more motivation now to get into all the others (i.e. dozens?) of pairs of pants I have hanging in the closet waiting for me! All things happen for a reason:) (but what will I wear in the meantime? haha)

Went to Bob Evans for lunch today and can I just say that I think their potato soup may be God's gift to me personally? It is my favorite....but I looked up the points today and I think it's time for me to cut it out of my life completely...it's just too tempting and I can't just have a cup!! No, only a bowl for me! So I must end this love affair and call it quits. Potato soup, I am breaking up with you! Rice Pilaf and applesauce, here I come! (ok, so I'm trying to think positive...)

Here's my 'epiphany' story of the day. Short and sweet tonight. There was a day a couple of years ago that I found out I weighed more than my mom, which really wasn't that big a deal; we have both been fighting our weight for years. But later that same day I also found out I weighed more than my overweight grandmother. The icing on the proverbial cake was learning later that same glorious day that I was also a good 20-30 pounds heavier than my loving 6'2 husband (again, I'm 5'2!). I don't really need to explain how all that made me feel...if you've been there, you KNOW. Good times.

That's all for tonight folks. Got LOST on DVR waiting for me. More soon, I promise!

P.S. Just wanted to say a thank you to all of my awesome supportive friends... you rock and I am so blessed and so thankful for you...you keep me going!!! I love you:)
