I only have one adventurous child who always tries it! They weep and wail and gnash their teeth and demand cereal. I ask them to taste one bite but then i always have something for dinner that I know they will eat, whether that is rice, potatoes, bread etc so they won't go hungry.Cardallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11892829000971779922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-56499660983181704792011-01-12T00:28:54.363-07:002011-01-12T00:28:54.363-07:00Thanks for answering my question!

Whenever I talk about weight loss or exercising or eating better I speak in terms of "health," "Word of Wisdom," and "Our Bodies Are Temples" and "ME." I don't forbid them from eating sugar. I don't forbid them from pizza. I let them occasionally eat hot lunch and if it's cold lunch, it always includes Greek Yogurt, PB&J, and a fruit/veggie of some kind. When I speak about my frustration to the blog, my children don't read it. They don't hear me bemoan. The only time they hear my frustration is when:<br />1. They refuse to try something new <br />and <br />2. They whine and complain about what I make for dinner.<br />Yes, they know I love The Biggest Loser. Yes, they know I want to be healthy. But I don't talk about it all day long. I'm not a Nazi about this stuff. On my blog it may appear this way because this is what I talk about here. It's safe to talk about it here. I can think it "out loud" here instead of to my children. <br />So, no worries. I'm not destroying my children's positive self-image. At least I hope not!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10218614720786379961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-2593615935649553892011-01-11T17:46:04.421-07:002011-01-11T17:46:04.421-07:00http://blog.cjanerun.com/2011/01/fats-out-of-bag.h...http://blog.cjanerun.com/2011/01/fats-out-of-bag.html<br /><br />did you read this cjane post? stop the fat talk!<br /><br />my best friend growing up had a strict no sugar, no treat house. she always binged when she went other places..especially college where she gained 50 lbs. She was never taught what to do with treats/sugar when it was around. she was never taught moderation. I think its similar to teaching our kids how to live in but not of the world...<br /><br />Coming from a home where weight was a BIG issue and we were lectured about it a lot (and my sister had/has an eating disorder), teach about health but not weight. don't harp on it, let her make her own choices. I try to teach my kids that many times they eat because they are bored or tired and to find somehting else to do, if they are still "hungry" in 30 minutes they can have a healthy snack. Just my 2 cents.Cardallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11892829000971779922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-32978528854918082552011-01-11T16:49:54.847-07:002011-01-11T16:49:54.847-07:00Nah, you're not stupid.
