And this is exactly how I’m feeling after #Insanity Asylum Vertical Plyo this morning. BUT it’s DONE! What’s your workout today?#WorkoutWednesday
I do NOT like diets. I do NOT like feeling deprived. I do NOT like feeling like I can’t have a beer or glass of wine or cookie or pizza or, oh, SUSHI!! And I really hate feeling guilty if I have a bad day (ahem, Halloween candy, I’m talking to you). Thank goodness I can have all those things and never once feel an ounce of guilt and STILL hit my goals :).

As a parent, childhood obesity is a very real thing for me. I worry about it all.the.time. I worry that I’m not feeding my girls healthy enough food. I worry that I’m a bad parent if I give them McDonald’s French fries and chicken nuggets from time to time. I worry that they’re eating too many processed foods and not enough whole, natural ones. I worry that I should be feeding them and us more organic fruits and veggies. And, above all, I worry that all of these choices I am making for them, will cause them to gain weight.
To put it bluntly: I worry about my kids getting fat.
It’s not just about the increased risk of getting bullied or made fun of at school because of it, it’s also because I know the risks. If I’m here busting my tail to stay fit and healthy, wouldn’t it seem unfair to my girls and selfish of if I didn’t approach their eating habits the same way I approach my own and my husband’s?
This study out this week in Health Affairs scares me. This is from The Atlantic:
Their findings, published in Health Affairs this week, show that the children who gained the most excess weight over the course of three years ate more butter and margarine, battered fish and poultry, potato chips, processed meat, French fries, milk, sweets, and sugary beverages. The only foods associated with staying at a healthy weight? Whole grains and high-fiber breakfast cereal.
So what do we do as parents? What do I do as a parent? I will continue to eat healthy in front of my girls and show them that healthy food does, in fact, taste really really good! I will continue to exercise in front of them and show them that we exercise to stay strong and healthy. I will continue to take them outside for play time and away from the TV or iPad and show them that fresh air and playing outside is truly one of life’s biggest pleasures.
My question to you, though, is this: what are the best things you’re currently doing to combat childhood and obesity and keep your kids healthy? I’d love your tips and advice!!
