Body Image

I'm all for presents and surprises but getting on the scale after having family here and enjoying all the tasty food Germany has to offer is not my idea of a fabulous gift! So tonight I started pushing it hard again and working out. Having two kids and being the "single-mom" at the moment makes it hard to get to the gym. The kids were watching a movie downstairs so I put in my lovely Billy Banks Boot Camp in upstairs and got to work. Amarisa comes up a little while into the work-out and decides to "try" it. She's got better coordination then me I'll give her that but she stops in the middle of one of the sets and says, "Mom, what are we doing" I respond, "mommy's trying to get skinny" (thinking to myself great I'm one of those mom's that's going to give their 3 year old a complex about weight now) but no not my child she smiles all cute and says, "oh you want to be skinny like Amarisa?"

Now I just hope she keeps that confidence forever!
