A very happy hello to all 
,
After all the very kind support I got from so many of you, I couldn't wait to share the latest development.
It turns out I didn't have to SAY anything at all to my daughter, all it took was fitting into a pair of her leggings
I was simply folding Sara's laundry and thinking to myself, "wonder how many more pounds before I can wear pants like these?" So I tried them on just to see, and they fit! So I go running upstairs (actually squeeling) to show my husband and Sara, and Sara yells, "this is too much! I will not wear the same size pants my 38 year old mother wears~NO WAY!" She goes back in her room, slams the door (normally I would have confronted her for slamming her bedroom door in such a manner, but I was in my own world dancing around in those leggings!)
But about an hour later she comes to me and says," do you think you can help me develop a healthy eating plan? I think I'd like to lose a few pounds, just kinda shape up some?!"
I had to contain the urge to yell, "CAN I? HELL YEAH I CAN HELP YOU GIRLFRIEND!" So I, in a very Mommie way said, "of course sweetheart, we can do it together!"
Couldn't have worked out better if Danielle Steele had written the ending
So thank you all for the advice, and I am so glad I didn't nag or browbeat her, and who knew all it took was the visual of seeing your Mom wear your clothes?
