I owned up to this early on... I tend to take the easy way out, hence hitting drive thru so often. Not only did that bad habit help me gain weight, but it was also instilling horrible eating habits and expectations in my daughters. I honestly attempt to feed my family well, but like everyone else, by the end of the day I'm flat out tired and just don't want to deal with it.... then it's "Hello McDonalds"
Well, thanks to my new WW way of making decisions (I always ask myself if something is "point worthy":), and my determination to follow God on this journey He's placed me on, my family is eating better as well. We are eating at home and I make most things either homemade or at the very least semi-homemade. It's causing me to actually stick to the plan I set out with (I'm famous for coming up with plans and not seeing them thru) and I'm finding our days are running smoother than ever. I know what meals are planned for the week, I've gone to the grocery store and made sure I have all the ingredients to make everything on the list, and each morning I look to see what's up for the day and get a jump start on things. Tonight's dinner calls for some homemade bread which is baking as I type.
All in all, I'm finding great joy in watching God work thru so many little things as He pushes me along this WW path. He's simplifying my life in ways I'd not anticipated, but am so thankful for. Feeding my family better and teaching my daughters to fuel their bodies with good fuel not junk, is only just the surface :)
