a great NSV of the nutritional kind.

Ok so how can you have a NSV of the nutritional kind? Easily.

My 16 yr old daughter was hungry today...and instead of looking for the crap food that teenagers will eat by the buckload, she wandered into the kitchen and made herself a strawberry and mango smoothie. (now I must add that the meals I prepare my family very much mimic my own, just differing portion sizes to tailor to their individual needs)

So i chatted to her while she made it and it came to pass that she said this "I though a smoothie would be the way to go because when I am your age I want to look as good as you." Gosh I love this girl (all 45kg of her LOL) <3

...now the you could call this a superficial NSV with my daughter remarking on how I look, but I look at it deeper - my daughter is developing healthy habits that will hold her in good stead for a lifetime of great eating. NSV of the nutritional and the best kind :)

    What a wonderful NSV! Congratulations to you for leading the way with healthier food choices (and to her for taking them up), as well as to the obvious changes you've made to your health and well-being that prompted her to compliment your appearance. :)
