Kids Need To Eat Better…

You know what one of the most detrimental obstacles to not overeating is? Kids.

More specifically, my kids. They have become picky eaters and as a result, when dinner is over, there is a lot of food left on their plates. I grew up pretty poor. I cannot bear to throw food away. It literally pains me. So I’ll sneak a bite or two or three before I clear the plates into the undermount stainless sinks.

I have to watch that. It’s a really easy way to creep more calories into my day than I plan for. It’s a really easy way to wreck my progress toward 200 pounds. But it’s not easy.

    Possible solution: train the boys to scrape their own plates into the trash after meals. No temptation for Dad. Keep on keepin’ on! You’re an inspiration.

    I KNOW what your boys eat…do NOT eat those scraps…be wasteful! It’s ok in this one situation. :) You are kickin’ serious skinny butt and don’t want to mess up a good thing.

    Wrap it up and they can have a snack later or leftovers.
