Family & Friends

I have family and friends who I have tried to enlist on the path of health & fitness. I am sure you do too. I have also tried to instill these good habits in my children. I am sure they will never eat broccoli when they are adults because they eat it every night now. Well it's the only vegetable that I know they will eat, yeah I've tried them all. Yes they eat corn but it's a starch so I don't give it to them too often. Try not to make separate meals. I found myself doing that at first steamed spinach, chicken breast & brown rice maybe for me for dinner and tator tots & cheese sticks for the kids. What kind of sense did that make? Yeah you remembered they won't eat that spinach but they will eat broccoli so I will do that separately not that I don't eat broccoli but I eat pretty much all vegetables so I don't eat broccoli everyday! Sure they still get McDonald's and other "bad for you foods" but it's the exception not the norm which really makes the difference. Try to rub off on everyone around you. I know I try, to the point people hate to see me coming or try to hide what they eat from me like I'm the food police especially at work. I was off one Friday and my whole office actually planned to order pizza because I wasn't there. They are too ashamed to do that kind of thing with me around. I don't know if it's good or bad but I sure found it funny. These are also the same people that got me a case of water and a bag of apples for my birthday when I first started my weight loss journey because they knew I wouldn't want a cake so I think it's a GREAT THING!
