In efforts to live more healthfully in their food choices, JCK and her family have begun to look at what they are eating and how they can improve their daily eating habits. Like any family, budgetary concerns play a role. Yet, every week, the Motherscribe household forks out large sums of money to purchase food that isn't processed or full of preservatives. Let JCK tell you...it ain't cheap.
Lately, they've begun to look at grams of sugar. BOY has taken this on as his personal mission. He can tell JCK how many grams of sugar are in yogurt, cereal, crackers, granola bars, etc. GIRL likes to explain it this way:
GIRL: BOY, imagine there are two weight lifters in your tummy. On one side is a weight lifter holding up good food. On the other side is a weight lifter holding junk food. The one with the healthy food needs to get stronger & stronger, because the one with the junk food is too strong.
Yes, BOY needs to eat more vegetables...

Excellent analogy--good for your GIRL!
ReplyDeleteLove that analogy! What a smart girl. Lately, it is expensive just to eat, not even considering the health aspect, so I feel your pain!
ReplyDeletewe are watching this in our family, too. my hubby has finally gotten on board with losing weight, so it's easier. I need to trim off the few I put on in this moving process. it hasn't been so much, considering. but still...
ReplyDeleteBoy oh boy, did I get this message myself this week!!!
ReplyDeleteHope your little darlings maintain their healthy diets throughout their lives, and don't have to learn a lesson like I did!
