Doing it for my kids!

Wednesday, July 11, 2012

I'm highly addicted to sweets. Period, the end. Well unfortunately so are my boys. I am determined to change their eating habits, cutting out unhealthy treats a little at a time. I think that will make the transition easier not only for them, but for me! I know I'm going to go through hell breaking my addiction. So I'm definitely not looking forward to dealing with their withdrawals. But it has to be done. Obesity runs in not only my family but my husband's as well. I don't want to be the one responsible for denying them the knowledge of healthy eating habits, daily exercise, & tools to help them be successful. I know I have to be their example. I know what I must do. It's just a matter of finding within myself the dedication, motivation, & self-control I know I have deep down inside.

    Dr. Oz said you can break the spell of sugar in 72 hours. Please go and do a search on his website. Question is: "How determined are you?"

    That's what I'm hoping for...for them to eventually thank me. I don't ever want to see them suffer & go down the same path I did! Thanks for the support! :-)

    Congratulations, no matter how hard it is to deal with, please know that you are doing the right thing. It is good to enable your entire family to participate with you on achieving healthy habits, by doing these things together, there is a greater chance of staying on course. Keep going at it you will laugh at the end result and the kids will thank you in the future.
