I ate cereal every morning of my life. I was not allowed to eat sugar cereal and I try to limit sugar cereal at my house. I ate PB&J sandwhiches with milk and a treat every day for lunch. My mom normally had a snack for us when we got home from school - like fruit or a cookie. We had typical dinners like chicken and rice or tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. There was always candy at my house and it was fun to sneak it. Everyone I knew ate the exactly same way and I didn't know any obese kids in grade school. Something (pre-processed and fast foods) has made children eat and look different. I say, if you made it yourself or if your grandma would recognize it - go for it!

As for what my kids eat that's healthy...well, just say that whoever invented Carnation Instant Breakfast is a God! It's the only way I can live with myself. Congrats on the weight loss!

They are pretty much American kids who eat processed foods mostly. I do require them to eat a fruit or vegetable at every meal though. This brings complaining some days but I am sure when they're older they'll thank me, right? Congrats on your weight loss, that's awesome! I wish I could say my kids eat healthy all the time but no.

Lunches consist of sandwiches pbj for the boy and ham for the girl, chips, sometimes some fruit and cheese. They have fruit, pretzels, and yogurt for snacks. So far that sounds good right? Well then comes dinner... they refuse to eat their veggies. I need to be better about serving and introducing a variety of items, but I'm lucky if they eat what I make. Oh I should probably mention that they also eat fruit snacks and peanut butter granola bars and ask for candy constantly. They usually get a couple pieces a day.

Not great. They are not awesome on trying new things, veggies are not a big hit. The usual. They do eat fruit, though, which is my one saving grace. 3 pounds - 16 pounds total?

I don't make them clear their plate but I do make them clear their vegetables. We usually serve at least 2 different vegetables so that there is always a viggie on the table that everyone will eat. ("Will" meaning without puking) Here is a post on how we get the kids to eat green beans: http://icecreamdiary.blogspot.com/2008/05/kill-green-bean.html P.S. I want to like twinkies, but everytime I try one all I can taste are the chemicals. But they look so yummy! I try to get my kids to eat healthy.

I just hope it works. He gets enough exercise, but he just eats wwwway too much and it is catching up with him.

I think its wonderful that your kids have not tasted a twinkee yet in their lives. There are far too many bad food temptations out there without having them at home. My 1st grade daughter came home the other day and told me her teacher had given her two pieces of candy at school that day. Two pieces!!! Yuck! Not that we are perfect at home, but I don't appreciate the fact that they are given candy without us knowing it! Wanted to comment about kids diets.

I will join you after I return from Puerto Vallarta. Those margaritas will be hanging onto my butt, for sure! As for the Twinkies, I have to laugh because I haven't even thought about Twinkies since maybe junior high. Noey and Rowy are very deprived children. Maybe we will have to join in the corruption!
