"shriveling away"

I still have at least 50lbs to go...but today I heard the sweetest compliment...."My God, you're shrievling away to nothing". Never in my life have the two words (me & shrievling) been mentioned in the same sentence.

That's awesome! Congratulations!!! Gotta love the compliments!

Yesterday I was feeling a bit discouraged as the scale had not moved. I was pouting to my dh. His comment was to tell me in a very low whisper (so the kids wouldn't hear) that my butt was definately MUCH smaller. He was shaking his head

the whole time. Can you picture it?

I almost cried!

WTG! Keep up the good work. There's nothing like a compliment like that to keep you motivated.
