Re: My best NSV!!

[Guest guest]

Dear Tammy,

That's terrific! Thanks for posting and sharing your NSV with us

all. I haven't got a whirlpool tub, but I AM looking forward to the

day when I can sit comfortably in my regular sized bathtub and take

a long long lavender bath in the evening, instead of standing in my

shower.

My husband is also morbidly obese- not yet ready to do anything this

aggressive about it, but I have noticed that he has started skipping

the second portions, asking for just chicken or seafood and salad

for dinner, and having fat free yogurt for a snack if he wants

something, instead of having ice cream or what would amount to

another meal. I am silently applauding him, but waiting for him to

speak about it before I bring it up.

ANyway, because of my husbands and my own weight, our 6 year old has

pretty much had the tub to himself his entire life. We grownups only

use the shower. Timmy thinks it has something to do with " once you

get too old, you have to stand up, right mom?, because if you sat in

the tub, you could break something " . I think he was thinking like a

HIP, like greatgrandpa- I was thinking " yes, like the BATHTUB, but I

cannot wait for the day when I tell him to haul all of his boats,

ducks, squirt bottles etc out of the way- MAMA is going to have a

bath.

Best Wishes,

P. in Northern VA
