The Quandry is Solved
Well, it has been decided. I will eat what I eat, and the kids and David will eat something else. The kids just don't like the food. Brown rice is apparently and acquired taste. I refuse to give up my new regiment to eat mac-n-cheese every night. I want my brown rice. I want my fish!! My body feels so different already. Tonight, I ate a baked potato and a really small Filet Mignon. I knew when to stop eating it. My body told me, "You have had enough." That is perfect!! That is what I want for myself. So, I ate my yummy dinner and they ate hamburgers and french fries. Everyone was happy at the end of the night. Frankly, it doesn't take to much to make their food. Mine is way more intense. I can do both without a problem. It is about being healthy. Things won't always be convenient. I mean, it would have been awesome if everyone had liked the food, but life isn't perfect. So, I am going to stretch, do my Scripture study and go to bed. I want to be well-rested for boot camp tomorrow!!

Yay for solving the problem! I do think that you should still offer them a bite or two every now and again. After all, the food always looks (and tastes) better on mom's plate.
ReplyDeleteHey Jen! I've been catching up on your blog and I am totally impressed!! Working out the first couple of weeks is the hardest, but once you get in the groove, it will just be part of your life. You're doing great so far! As for the food... well, that can be tricky with kiddos. It's definitely something for them to get used to, and they can and should. As much as you want to get your health on track, you obviously want to pass that on to them as well. Lacey is used to us eating healthy and she is generally happy with what we're having, with some exceptions of course. Maybe we should finally get together soon so we can brainstorm some ideas to make all of this a little easier for you.. and you can help me figure out my own parenting issues! haha!! Good luck girl!
ReplyDeleteWell, I tried to get them to eat dinner with me for the past two weeks, but they won't eat it. Jordan ate it a little more than Carson. Carson has just refused to eat. She is so stubborn!! I don't want them to starve because they aren't getting any dinner. Maybe it should be a slow introduction rather than just flipping the switch at once with them?
ReplyDeletei think you should introduce it slowly since you are not the type to say tough eat it or starve :). just add something new once or twice a week. maybe one of the new side dishes with their regular main course or a new main course with their regular side dishes. it is not like your children eat unhealthy just not the same as your diet so don't stress. your children actually ask for broccoli and are not big on sugar so they are doing way better than most kids.
