<p style="text-align: left;">We really do tend to get caught up in the negative, unimportant details sometimes.  Tyler said something to me this morning that really put it in perspective.  At about 6 am he came into my room and crawled in to bed with me.  I was really groggy, so I continued to lay there for a few minutes.  After a few minutes, he started stroking my hair and said to me "mama, do you know what I love most about you?".  "what's that?" I answered.  "I love your face and your voice but I really love your belly, you know why?".  "why's that?"<br />
 I said.  "because it is big.  and soft and warm and I love to lay my head on it, it feels nice.".</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">talk about wanting to totally melt on the spot!  as I move in and out of my periods of self-</span>flagellation<span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> over my weight,  I need to </span>remember<span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> those words, and the complete acceptance and love with which they were spoken.  words cannot describe how much I love that little man of mine! :)</span></p>
