This morning I told my daughter I would come and eat lunch w/ her, she has asked me several times in the last week, well I decided to today and told her, well apparently she had thought about it over the weekend because she said OK then got quiet, a few minutes later I walked in and asked her what was wrong and she said tearfully, while wiping her eyes (in her words, she is only 8 years old) "It's just everyone elses mom who has came and ate with them has been skinny and I don't know if I will get teased or not", my heart is broke, I didn't break down in front of her because she was only being honest and didn't mean to hurt me, there was nothing bratty about it, she was genuinly concerned about being teased over me, so I asked her if she wanted daddy to come eat w/ her instead and she said yes... so the story goes is daddy gets to go...I have been a stay at home mom all this time to do things like this, to be apart of their lives at school, parties etc and I had the rug pulled out from under me, I am big yes, I weighed in at 201 today down from 238 after giving birth 10 months ago today, I have accomplished so much recently I know, but I do see her point...
You talk about an eye opener.. Sorry so long I just need someone who understands and I know you all do, I am so humiliated.

I posted this on another board also, I need all the support I can get..
