 My 4 yr old son was always my candy kid, If it was in the house he would eat it all. lately we havent been buying as much snacks and making more healthy choices. today we were running around and I offered him fast food for lunch, He said no mom id rather have a PB and J. last weekend he picked grapes over cookies. It is so awesome to see him making good choices.

today I can say I just sat back and was greatful for having the greatest kids I could ask for. I am going to worry less and love a little more. I am going to stop counting the minutes till bed time and start counting the minutes till good night kisses. I am going to stop crying and start laughing. I know together this family can move mountains one rock at a time

For the most part my kids do make healthy choices.

But they made unhealthy choices just as much as I do, lol!  Sometimes that cookie is going to taste better than the raisins BUT that's okay, our cookies have veggies in them, lol

I use to be a junkfood junkie as well.

for the most part, yes.  I probably am more flexible than some moms when it comes to sweets because of Ike's high calorie nutritional need, but when they BEG for broccoli and salad on their own I really don't have a problem with a homemade cookie after dinner.

I love when my kiddos pick healthy snacks!  My nine year old LOVES apples...he'll eat three pound bags a day if you let him.  My other three are very healthy considering all.

Me too.  And my dh is still a bad junkfood junkie!  It's just bad.  He doesn't even care if he is.  Lukily I feed the kids, and he rarely tries to sneak them bad crap.

I don't really give them the choice to pick something healthy or something sweet, but when they ask for a snack they ask for something healthy.

My kids both like their sweets but they also like their fruits and veggies as well. I can't keep them in the house.

Most of the time, they do. And I always feel so proud inside when they do!!
