Thanks so much everybody!
I don't know if any of the other moms can relate to this but kid carrying has always sort of been a sore spot for me. When you are really obese, you can't really hitch your kid on your hip the way most people do, because there really isn't a hip there to sit on, if you are built the way I used to be. I always carried my kids in front, basically sitting on my two arms. It always bothered me that once they got bigger, three and four, I could not carry them as long as other moms... I was always putting them down and asking them to walk-- I always worried when I had one who was totally over tired and wanted to be carried a long way-- especially if up a hill...when I was younger, I used to have pretty good stamina even though heavy, but fat and in my forties, I wasn't too terrific at carrying my littlest one.
So realizing how easily I could carry my son now, that was just a huge victory...
