Topping up my self-esteem without an effort

1. Spotted a woman wearing the same stripy top as mine at a shopping centre this afternoon. Told my girls about while she was in my sight. They said, "You are much slimmer, Mummy".
2. Getting off a bus and walking home from the shopping trip, 2 young men (surely younger than me) across the road wolf-whistled at me! My wee one said, "Mummy, they fancy you!!".
3. Was very brave for a change, and weighed myself at night. Had believed that I should be a little over the weight which I counted as "I'd-like-to-be-a-little-bit-lighter-but-this-is-normal". Surprise, surprise, was actually 1 kilo lighter than the "normal" wight. Goodness knows where all the biscuits, which I have been stuffing my face with recently, has gone. Probably this is the result of becoming a part-time vegetarian who eats meat only 2-3 meals a week.
