What was your FAVE childhood food?!When I was little, I used to eat 4 hot dogs in one sitting🤦🏼♀️plus dessert!
.
Hot dogs, pizza, pop tarts, cinnamon sugar toast & Cap’n Crunch cereal .. pretty much sums up my diet until I was about 14.
.
Luckily mom & dad didn’t let it get TOO out of hand and I was active in sports and dance. BUT …sometimes those childhood habits still TRY to creep in as an adult 🤷🏼♀️
.
Fairly common habits for a kid/teen BUT☝🏼don’t just give up fighting your old ways and LIKEWISE, don’t give up on educating & transitioning your kids to better eating AND getting in exercise!
.
Get educated on what’s REALLY being put in our food (for ex: the @131methodbook , the Shawn the Model Health Show podcast) & then get creative with food variety & exercise☝🏼
.
Don’t force it but give them a reason to WANT to (you’ll run faster🏃♀️, you’ll jump higher, your swing will be stronger⚾️, you’ll think more clearly for the test🙇🏼♀️, you’ll grow faster, etc)
.
They’ll thank u later when they’re having an easier time with body image💃🏽, mental health🙇🏼♀️, and weight management thru college, thru that first stressful career👩🏼💻, the stress of debt 💴 , relationships💏, starting a family 👶🏼 , etc.
.
Sorry this so long😵 but I give support & accountability to women every day who have a poor body image🚶♀️ and are trying to break unhealthy relationships with food (& often alcohol). I don’t want your daughter (or son) to need me! Instead I hope they educate & lead the next generation.
.
p.s. these are Applegate uncured grass-fed beef hot dogs in “Dave’s Killer Bread” (the thin-sliced super seed).
