Lol!<br />And...I had included this, but then deleted it because I thought it made it too long, but I am worse with my judgment when it comes to people I know. Because I care, and care about their children, and I know what they are feeding their children is going to do, or is doing to those children right now. I don't just go out to eat and instantly judge the table next to me. Wanted to clear that up. :)MMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615019810562816682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5633949315728216739.post-18188354501102881282012-06-12T11:09:17.316-07:002012-06-12T11:09:17.316-07:00I have to admit, that your post really had me wond...I have to admit, that your post really had me wondering how to reply on so many levels. Not because I disagree at all! If I was out and saw you, I would probably use you as an example of healthy options. French fries and veggies....would that older lady be happier if they had a huge burger in front of them? Im not sure I understand WHAT her outrage would be for. But, with that being said, I am guilty of judging other parents based on what their children are eating. (I hate that...glad I'm admitting it, but hate that I'm bad at it.)<br />In my community, and amoung my friends and family, I'm the one that gets the weird looks because I watch my children's sugar intake and processed food intake. Im the one that the other parents roll their eyes at because I disagree with the food choices at our cafeteria. I'm the one that they say oh lighten up because I think soda pop should NOT be in our schools. <br />I guess my judgment comes like this, as parents it is our responsibility to teach our kids how to take care of themselves. You are teaching your children how to eat, so they stay healthy. I'm teaching my children how to eat so they stay healthy. My children have health issues, and are predisposed to have the same issues I have when they are adults. So, as parents it is our job to teach them.<br />I think what you are doing as a parent is brilliant! You are teaching them what they can or can not eat to be healthy. <br />You should be applauded, not belittled.MMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615019810562816682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5633949315728216739.post-49381253310173065492012-06-12T07:30:13.589-07:002012-06-12T07:30:13.589-07:00I really NEED to get into better sleep habits.

Second,...First of all, I love your new blog layout! Second, if I was in the restaurant and saw what your kids were eating, I would have been jealous! My son is so picky, it's hard to get him to eat any sort of fruit or veggie. When we go out to eat we will order him things we know he will eat w/out fighting us (who wants to argue w/ a toddler in a restaurant??) and I know we definitely get judged sometimes!!Sarah Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04216477489968297835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5633949315728216739.post-56496830167530298252012-06-10T21:33:12.395-07:002012-06-10T21:33:12.395-07:00I completely understand about kids being underweig...I completely understand about kids being underweight. I had that problem with my girls because they have all tended to be long and lean. That said, I also agree others shouldn't judge because you don't know the whole story. Like Leah mentioned. If you cook at home all the time and eat healthy and let them have those "treats" when you eat out, you're are still doing whats best for you and your family!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5633949315728216739.post-89952873727534540122012-06-10T17:21:13.390-07:002012-06-10T17:21:13.390-07:00I think that french fries once in a while are not ...I think that french fries once in a while are not bad. I am lucky my son picks broccoli, but when he asks for them, I let him have it. It is not what we eat, it is how much of it we eat. <br />I like your meal plan for the week.monicazyounghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497546561943360881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5633949315728216739.post-11318049908025915032012-06-10T15:59:13.109-07:002012-06-10T15:59:13.109-07:00Definitely agree with Leah.

But when we are at home, they eat very healthy. And eating out is something that we do like once a month only. My husband works for a food service company so he is around food daily which in turn makes him not want to eat out. <br /><br />Hope you have a great week! Sorry deleted my original.

I follow the 80/20 rule. That means about 80 of our meals are cooked at home and ingredients are controlled to my liking. So when we go outside of the home to eat I pretty much let them eat whatever they want (within reason)...that means pizza, french fries, corn dogs, or whatever is at the party or function or restaurant. <br /><br />My kids are skinny too but very strong. And yes, their ribs poke out in the back but that is very normal for this age. I'm not so worried. They get plenty of healthy fats, fruits & veggies, protein, fiber. We are all good. <br /><br />No judgement here...bookieboohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17825929815325900822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5633949315728216739.post-66391294356818127332012-06-10T14:28:04.461-07:002012-06-10T14:28:04.461-07:00We went out to eat this weekend and I felt the sam...We went out to eat this weekend and I felt the same way being the only one in the family that can eat real food, sometimes makes it harder to kick myself. <br />Hugs for you though...what kid doesn't eat fries at a burger joint?! Seriously! My inlaws try to make us feel guilty about our kids wearing slims and being so skinny.<br />Hold your head up because you are doing right for your family and thats what counts.MNMSpecialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01536259365550114340noreply@blogger.com
