So my profile pic is of my family.... I am in the green shirt holding the little girl. As you can see (yes those are my 4 brothers) My family is not small.... I had always been thin and fit until I started having kids. My mom (in yellow) is the smallest of her siblings.... WLL huge NSV... today my kids asked for a snack. I asked "what do you want?" My 7 yr old says... celery and pb, my 5 yr old... grapes... and my 3 yr old.. carrots and ranch.... My mom feeds then junk when we go out there. and since starting my lifestyle change I am seeing it transfer to my kids and their choiices.... NOTHING COULD MAKE ME PROUDER AS A PARENT then to see I AM BREAKING the CYCLE of Obesity STARTING with myself and my children... THANKS KIDS FOR PUTTING A SMILE ON THIS MOMS FACE!!!!

That's awesome! It's so nice when we see our kid's following in our footsteps and it's something we are proud of instead of our horrible habits.

And that is a wonderful reason to keep at it!! You are not only changing your life but theirs.

What a wonderful gift you are giving your children - my son of 30 keeps on telling me how thankfull he is that I somehow managed to show him the healthy way - even when I was "over indulging" myself....

He loves fruit and vegetables, and even as a child would choose fruit over lollies (chocolate is a different story - he did inherit my love of GOOD exensive chocolates ;-) )

It is so nice to know that change can and does happen. Congrats on your success with yourself and your family. Your kids have one awesome mom!

That is a NSV we all can appreciate.

CONGRATULATIONS! That is an amazing accomplishment in and of itself. You should feel so proud. I have noticed that my boys are eating more fruits and veggies since I started my life style change. It may be because that's what I make and what we have in the house but I hope that they would make healthier choices on their own also.

Great job! )
