Its Official: I am fat.

We took the kids to the local public pool yesterday afternoon. We could have gone to the one in our mobile home park, but ...come on...it is in a mobile home park...need I say more?

Anyway, it was crowded, but since it was after 6pm, it was only .25 to get in. They were having swim lessons for kids, and it must have been twin day. I saw at least 10 sets. My two boys couldn't wait to get in the water. They started in before we could get their shirts off. My daughter was also pretty excited.

We were there for about an hour when I decided to get out and took our youngest to dry out. A short time the others followed. While getting ready to leave, I was having trouble my towel around my waist so I could take my son's hand and I said rethorically, "Why am I having so much trouble with this", to which my daughter said, "Maybe because you are fat?". That sure made me feel good about myself. I guess that means I am. I don't think I am. I maybe could lose a few pounds, but not fat. Apparently my daughter thinks so.

Now I can't stop thinking about it. Maybe everyone else thinks so too. I guess I will have to get my butt in gear and start an exercise program. Too many Dr. Peppers I guess and not enough activity. I knew for some time that I needed to get some exercise, but now it really hit home.
