Are you setting the example and being a good role model for your childrens future health? Follow along as I share my conversations from today with my 14 yr old daughter: 2:45pm - school pick up Abby: Im hungry. Can we go to Chipotle? Me: No, we have food at home. (Proceed to open up Impact for class and Abby eats 3 baby bel cheeses. 4:00 - on the way home Abby: Im tired. Me: what time did you go to bed? Abby: 9:30pm Me: what time did you get up? Abby: 5:45am Me: you need to move first thing in the morning to get your body to wake up before going to school where you sit more than move. Plus you need to fuel your body with good food. 4:15 - home before soccer game Abby: there is nothing here to eat. Me: the refrigerator is full (meal prep yesterday) Abby: I just wont eat. Me: yes you will. You need energy for your game. Abby proceeds to make 2 organic beef hotdogs & vanilla greek yogurt with strawberries and mini chocolate chips. 6:45pm - after the game Abby: can we go to Firehouse Subs? Me: no we have food at home. 7:45pm - watching the high school volleyball game Abby: can I get something to eat at the concession stand? Me: no, we have food at home. 8:30pm - home Abby: will you fix me what you have? Me: yes Homemade Roasted chicken with Rao marinara sauce & feta cheese. Ending the night with a happy healthier girl even after mom said NO several times. YOU ARE THE ADVOCATE!!! Teach them how to make good choices and dont be afraid to say NO!!
