: Marvy is so right when she says that eating
: Junk food is like feeding our bodies with
: garbage... So true!! I am pretty sure it is
: easier to diet when you don't have a family
: to take care of and who needs dinner on the
: table each day... If that is a problem for
: you, try to make new arrangements so you
: don't mess up with your diet. Ask your
: husband too cook, if the children are old
: enough, maybe they can prepare the meal
: sometime...Like I said in a previous post,
: it is important to plan your meals when it's
: time to start eating real food. I also think
: it is important to involve the whole family
: in the new way of eating... If we don't want
: to feed ourselves with Junk, we should not
: offer it to the rest of the family either!!!
: I'm stunned when I see a mom or dad eating a
: salad, but the kids are having hamburgers,
: pizza and fatty snack... No wonder obesity
: is a huge problem even among young kids!!
: When we go to the grocery store, we have a
: choice. We can buy healthy food or not so
: healthy... If we bring home fatty, unhealthy
: food, someone will eat it, maybe it is even
: you... Remember that you can't eat what's
: NOT in your house!!
:
: Think about the snacking... There are lots
: of delicious but fatty snacks and it's easy
: to get access to it - and we do buy it when
: we start feeling hungry... My advice is to
: always have some healthy snack in your
: handbag. I always have a fruit, some nuts
: (with no salt or oil, and not a whole bag, I
: put some in a small box, or I will eat too
: much) and a low-cal bar in my handbag...
: It's a perfect way of snacking during the
: day and it keeps the amount of cals down!!
: Try it, you will get used to it... An apple
: is way better than a big muffin or a bag of
: chips!! Enjoy!
:
: Good luck!! Mia.
