I was not raised with very good eating habits. I'm sure that has contributed to my current weight problem. Now I have my first little one due on Tuesday (ack!), and one of my biggest worries/fears is that I am going to teach her bad eating habits and help lead her to the same life long battle I've had with my weight.
I saw on a couple other threads different people discussing how they were raised to eat well (or not), and how they are raising their kids to eat well. I am looking for thoughts and ideas on how to do this in the real world. I can see how you could do it "on paper," but I also know that when the..erm... fit hits the shan, so to speak, that sometimes easy and convenient with kids is a lifesaver.
I've got 5 or 6 months of breastfeeding (hopefully!) before I even need to start actual real food with the baby, but its been on my mind a lot. I really don't want to be a big contributor to poor eating habits. Actually, let me rephrase positively - I really want to be a big contributor to really great, healthy eating habits for my daughter.
Is just getting my own act together enough, do you think?
