Finding from each other is the best way to get to our goal.<br /><br />Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08738870796987568040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722328780372613592.post-19585277503186410222015-07-08T19:55:59.610-04:002015-07-08T19:55:59.610-04:00Good for you... we must have done one thing right....Good for you... we must have done one thing right...

Lollies if he had two drinks before school! I was uncomfortable with it but sometimes a bad choice is the best choice under the circumstances. <br /><br />Now things are much better. We haven't had food treats for a while but both my children and husband are now used to drinking juice and cordial all the time instead of water. I'm not sure how to wean them off it without dropping my son's fluid levels. I personally drink water with a squeeze of lemon, or tea with milk and sugar. Do I make them go cold turkey? If I say "only one glass of juice per day" does that mean it's all they will have? You can't force someone to drink, and I don't want to make a glass of water some kind of torture.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05104693042948517678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722328780372613592.post-80968410171470024402015-07-08T14:47:22.363-04:002015-07-08T14:47:22.363-04:00That was a big eye opener for my family, too.

Once we stopped listening to the marketing companies telling us that this 'Low Fat!' product was indeed 'Full of Sugar!' and even worse, we rid our kitchen of this trash. The hard part was convincing my kids that fruit juice was almost as bad for them as a can of soda, but they're on board completely now.Scooter Hussyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01435464822641710286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722328780372613592.post-59066713539682805542015-07-08T11:33:53.234-04:002015-07-08T11:33:53.234-04:00Hahahaha, I drank NO WATER as a kid.

I`ll occasionally have a glass of milk, and juice or pop are special treats I have maybe 4-5 times a year. It was a super easy transition to make too, so it`s never too late to change your habits.<br /><br />I already knew that cereals and granola bars [which are basically candy bars with a good reputation] have a lot of sugar, so I tell myself I`m having a treat when I`m eating any...works for me. I get to eat some from time to time but they`re in no way a regular part of my diet.<br /><br />-WWEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
