Something that made me feel really good!

[Inez]

I usually keep a few cookies and such around the house and let the kids have one or two occasionally as a treat. My younger daughter came home from school yesterday and asked for a treat and I said we didn't have any treats right now. She insisted that we did and went to the refrigerator and starting digging in the back and finally pulled out a jar of unsweetened apple sauce and said "see, Mommy, I told you there was a treat in here!" I've been low-carbing four about four years now and try to keep my family's carb consumption at a reasonable level, but I don't restrict anything for them, I just try to explain why some food choices are better than others -- but I really felt like I'd accomplished something when my daughter told me she considered sugar-free apple sauce a treat!

Way to set the example, Mama!!! :)

When my son was little, he used to eat red bell peppers like an apple, and actually ask for tofu cooked in soy sauce!

He still eats very healthy and is aware of how it effects him if he splurges........those good habits seem to stick with them!
