Last night for dinner I made pita bread pizza's for our family which everyone appeared to love. I was tired of making a salad to go with, so I put out a platter of sliced cucumber, tomato and red bell pepper. I was shocked when my big boys ate the vegetables and didn't even ask for dip. I never can get them to eat salad so I was flabbergasted when I saw Spencer grab a piece of red bell pepper and announce that it was "yummy!"
Also... I've noticed that in general Kent is just feeling better. He has more energy and feels stronger and healthier. He does miss his hamburgers and ordering whatever sounded best when he goes to a restaurant. I'm trying to encourage him to order what he wants and just eat half or to not order a salad (which I know he doesn't enjoy) but to meet himself halfway... maybe order something that's not the worst thing on the menu but not a salad. I just don't want him to get burnt out on this... I want us to start a lifetime of eating healthy and not to treat this like a diet.
It's just nice to see that this change in eating habits is doing good things in the life of my family. It's already paying off. Yippee!

That's so cool! Where are you getting your meal ideas and recipes?
I get them from some great Weight Watcher cook books I have. They really have some yummy recipes that don't taste "diet." :)
Plus at the meetings they gave me tons of great ideas too.
Great Job!!! Thanks for being such a great example for our family.
