Thanks everyone for your words of support on trying to lose weight. I have a new found respect for people who have lost a lot of weight. I mean, I always have respected these people, but now that I am going through it, I understand it all so much more.

On a different note…Abel hates shopping. I guess I should get used to it since he is a guy and will most likely always hate shopping. Not like all guys hate it, but the majority of guys do. He screams the second I put him in the car seat and doesn’t stop till we get home. As soon as we enter the store his “bloody-murder” cry starts. This is the cry where it gets so loud and high pitched and his face turns bright red and he stops breathing for a few seconds. Lately, I have been doing my errands with my mom, so if this bloody murder cry starts….grandma loving holds him the whole time. THANKS MOM! But yesterday, I thought me and Abel would venture out on our own. Bad idea. As soon as we entered Bed, Bath and Beyond…the bloody murder cry started. Everyone was staring at me so I had to shop holding him the whole time while pushing the cart. It sure was hard trying to pick up what I needed and pay for everything. How do you moms do it with more kids? I’m very impressed. Hopefully, I will get better at all this.
