Well I know that last night I hit on the fact that changing our lifestyle impacts your children so much, but I'm going there again! When we tried before to lose weight, our biggest excuse/problem was we didn't know how to incorporate the kids! We tried plans that you bought all your meals from... that was great except we still had to feed the kids, not to mention lugging all those boxes around when we went out of town. Plus, we are human, we are going to go out to eat! We now feed the kids the same thing we eat. Of course we have to be a little creative, for example on pizza night, we make one for us like you have seen on previous posts and one with cheese. On spaghetti night, we do whole-wheat noodles, spray butter and a little Parmesan cheese. The kids HAVE to learn to eat health from a young age so they don't have to go through this when they are older like us! Snacks a big battle in our house. We completely cut out sugar cereals! I found that my kids would sit around and eat a bowl of fruit loops in the middle of the day... and I wondered why they were so cranky... DUH KEISHA! Anyway, we have found that the kids do like fruit, they actually love it. They like different things, Morgan is into grapes and apples, Alex loves oranges and watermelon and Carson like just about anything you put in front of him! I took pics to prove to you that kids will eat healthy when given no other option!!! I'm not saying it happened over night, because like us adults, they had to undergo their own sugar detox. Just be patient and don't give up on them... they need this as much as you do!
Alright... how is it going so far? Anyone want to share? ANYONE AT ALL??? Happy weekend!!!
