Day 2 observations:
My husband will tell you I am not a 'food sharer.' I will never be the one at a restaurant who will say, "Hey, let's split our meals so we can each have half." Nope, I want what I order and I want all of it. Must be a second child thing. But I digress... I have had to learn to share my food - I can not eat any of my 'challenge' food in front of my kids without them begging for some. Literally, I made 8 hard boiled eggs at the beginning of the week and I ate 3 and the kids ate the rest. I was cutting up red peppers yesterday and Audrey and Gabe kept coming over and stealing them! And when I made my dinner of black beans, Greek yogurt with taco seasoning (tasted just like sour cream), chicken and corn (just a smidgen), my husband wanted to have a bite of mine versus the super gooey, creamy mac and cheese I had made for them! I am realizing that this program is not only great for me but I am modeling good nutrition for my family - and it's contagious.
Your kids are better eaters than 99% of most children so be proud. You done good, mama.
ReplyDeleteThis is what it is all about! Not only are you learning how to make good, healthy choices, but you are being a great role model for Audrey and Gabe. Just think...if you truly embrace this as a lifestyle, they will most likely never have to worry or deal with obesity, heart disease, yoyo dieting, high cholesterol, etc. simply based on your decisions! WHOA MAMA...that is powerful!
