This does.

Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.
True or false?

During my pregnancy with the twins I gained 40 or so pounds.  Tim joined in with a few "sympathy" pounds of his own.  :)  After birthing them, I was having a hard time losing that last 10-15 lbs.   It didn't come off like it did after I had Cale.  So after 5 months, Tim and I decided to go on a diet. 
The above statement was our mantra for those 2-3 weeks.
I successfully lost 12.5 lbs and have kept it off.
Tim lost 16 lbs and has kept it off.
BUT.......
Fall is here and winter are around the corner. 
The weather is getting chilly.  The smell of sweet gooey brownies and warm chocolate cookies fill our house again.  Crock pot dinners replace salads.  Veggies are seen more often in casseroles.  Delivery pizza seems inspired on a rainy day. And because a cup of hot cocoa or cider is so much more inviting than bottled water....it's safe to say we are reconsidering our position on the statement.
Perhaps there are some things that taste better than being slim feels. :)

And to that end...please sit back, relax with your strawberry milkshake and enjoy the humor that is Katie.

((A few reasons why my husband and I will never be that "token" skinny couple:))

Brownies with icing and french fries with cheese dip,
Sausage on pizza, doritos and cheese nips,
Peppermint patties, coke full to the brim,
Food is the reason that we are not slim....

Krispy Kreme donuts and Firehouse subs,
Cheeseburgers, nuggets, and  BLT clubs,
Chocolate and whole milk we'll take over skim
Food is the reason that we are not slim....

Double stuffed oreos dipped in cold milk,
Chipotle burritos can't touch us with guilt
Chocolate cake without trips to the gym
Food is the reason that we are not slim.

When a baby cries,
When a toddler lies,
When we're sleep deprived....
We open the internet's online menu -
And wait 'til our food arrives.

Mmmm..................food. :)
