I’ve been making Baby Farrah baby food with The Baby Bullet,
which is amazing by the way. The commercials are very accurate, and I would recommend
one. Anyways, I’ve been happily making Farrah’s baby food and got to thinking,
why don’t we eat as well as we make our kids? And even beyond that, why don’t
we treat our bodies as well as we treat our kids?
Ever really think about that? We make sure our kids eat all
their veggies, we limit their treat intake, and they don’t get snacks if they
don’t eat all their food. We ensure they have well-rounded meals, three times a
day and healthy snacks along with some fun ones once and a while too. We make
them go to bed early on school nights to make sure they get enough sleep and
aren’t grumpy the next day. We tell them
to go outside and get some fresh air and exercise. We limit their TV, gaming, and
internet time and we also make sure they read every day.
Maybe us moms should challenge ourselves, try it for a week.
If you wouldn’t let your kid do it, you don’t do it. If you feel like eating a
bag of nacho chips at 9pm, (did that last night haha) ask yourself, would I let
my kids do this? If the answer is no, put the bag away. Make your dinner plates
to replicate theirs, and eat all your veggies. When the homework is done after
school, join the kids outside at the park (and don’t just sit on the bench) or
maybe kick the soccer ball around. Try going to bed early for a week, and read
for 30 minutes before bed. Limit you TV, gaming, and internet time to the same
amount you allow them.
Phew! This is gonna be tough, think I can do it? I don’t
know if I can, but I’m gonna try and I’ll let you know how it goes, that is if
I don’t use up all my internet time on creepin’ Facebook.
