As I have continued on my journey, my head has been the clearest it has been in years. I used to snack, drink sodas, and go to the drive-thru without much of a second thought. Once I started on this program I realized the seed I had planted with my daughter. She has "developed" a sweet tooth, while she does eat vegetables and the other things she should, she also loves sweets. This is something I told myself I would try to avoid.

Growing up, my grandmother had every kind of chips, cookies, or snack cakes a child could want. While that was great when I was young, it was something that stuck with me for a very long time. As I am getting healthy, I am also detoxing my daughter in the process. I am not totally depriving her, but trying to help her learn the importance of moderation, something I was not taught growing up. Through example, I will be able to help her learn the healthy lifestyle that will help keep her well.
