Food for thought.....

Ok this is just a really quick note

I made the best dinner tonight. It was so awesome!!!

We had spinach and ricotta cannelloni, well my version anyways. I am not sure how to really make it.

I am happy because this week in our house we have had more home cooked meals than take away and even though I felt exhausted I put the effort in.

Tracey has been talking to me a lot about food of late and I am starting to see that I need to make the change.

The one thing she has said to me, which has really challenged me is this: I can make whatever decisions I want about foods, good or bad and I have to live with the consequences of that. (and I do hence why I am so overweight I am classed as obese) My children on the other hand do not have the same power and choice that I do. I make those decisions for them and they have to live with the consequences. As their mother it is my responsibility to look after them the best I can and their diet and trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle is part of that. I mindlessly feed my kids without giving a second thought to what I am actually putting into their bodies and the affect that it could be having on them.

I have also read another friends blog this week and she has made some really interesting points, I urge all of you to take a quick look. http://louise-mumof3girls.blogspot.com/ I am slowly beginning to realise what is actually in foods, and that sometimes when we think we are doing the right thing we are actually not.

So anyways I am feeling challenged, and slowly trying to make changes. Hope this wasn't too boring.

Until next time
