Awesome!

If that happened to me, I... would think it was awfully creepy that small children had broken into my home.

LOL...Thanks for making my day! :laugh:

You really don't realize how much your children really DO pay attention to everything you do. My 4 year old daughter is built just like me and I've always been concerned that she'd follow in my footsteps and end up struggling with her weight. She LOVES "treats" and asks for one about a million times a day. Recently she's been talking a LOT about being healthy. She considers fruit treats, and is starting to stop eating when she's full.

The other day I was eating a spinach pizza and both of my daughters (2 and 4) were asking for the spinach off of my pizza, to put on theirs. They ended up stealing about 1/2 of my spinach! Another day, I was making them grilled cheese and my 4 year old came out in the kitchen and ASKED for spinach in her grilled cheese: WHAT?! This is a 2 year old and a 4 year old who are REQUESTING spinach!

I know it may not seem like a huge deal to some people, but the fact that my daughters are starting to pick up healthy habits motivates me more than anything. My daughter asked me why I go to workout and I told her so I can be healthy and run around and play with her. Now, whenever I work out (or if I miss a workout), she'll ask me when I'm going to go workout so I can be healthy for her.

Truly, the single BEST NSV I will ever have.

I think you should be proud of yourself... surely, the new healthy attitude of your daughters is due to YOUR attitude.
Kids follow the abits that they have been given.
That they are changing them now, without pressure, goes to your credit.

I alweys noticed that kids eating trash, do that because they are allowed to. If they have the right choices of food, they are more than happy to eat healthy. Because healthy food is not only healthy, but also tasty, while other threats, even sweets, hot dogs, chips, well, they are attractive but on the long term they have always the same taste. Boring.

Good work, for your fitness, and for your children!

excellent NSV, you know you are getting it spot on when your children are coming out with remarks like that

I think that's awesome!! When I was a kid you couldn't get me to eat spinach! (Luckilly now I love it)

That is probably the best NSV I have heard In all honesty it brought tears to my eye's, thank you for sharing. I hope, as a mom of four children, that my healthy habits I am trying to form influence my children positively too.

Love your NSV. My kids make me want to be a better person.

Totally makes you want to cry to think that your sweet girls will not need to struggle the way we all have. We want the best for our kids and you are so providing that for them. My 6 kids are very, very athletic and that is something very important to me, just as important as a great education.

5 stars for great parenting. And I have to try the spinach grilled cheese too

that's super. great work, missus. i started this because of my kids too. my 4yo son asked for salad the other day! my 6yo still refuses, but we do what we can :-)
it's a great thing that our kids will never have to learn how to be healthy or fit.
