It finallllyyyyy happened.

Last night we went to Hurricane Rylie's for dinner. The kids had to go to the bathroom, and Tim took them. While they were away, the waitress (whom I've known at that restaurant since the first time I was pregnant) said, "Can I ask you something...?"

I said, "Sure."

She said, "Have you... lost weight? I mean, not that I thought that you were overweight at all before...."

I grinned and said, "Why yes I have! Thank you for noticing. I've lost 45 lbs so far."

She said, "Oh WOW! That's a LOT! I never would have guessed that you needed to lose that much! But you can really see it in your face!"

I didn't stop smiling the rest of the night. :n)
