A wonderful NSV
 

For those of us who are making healthy eating a lifestyle and we tell ourselves that somehow if we don't make sure our children eat junk at some point then we are "depriving" them of something, here is an NSV for you.

When I eat healthier, my daughter eats healthier. So imagine my surprise (and joy!) when I am sitting here eating a cut up apple and she runs over to me screaming "Cookie!" and is happily snatching apple slices off my plate. Believe me, she knows what a cookie is (she's 2 and a half) but to her the apple is just as yummy and probably satisfying as a cookie. Does my heart good I tell ya. It's gotten that I have to cut the apple pretty thin so she feels she is eating more because she starts whining if it finishes too fast.

That is a great victory! :hug:

That is a terrific NSV! :carrot:

That's awesome! :bravo: for both you and your daughter. :)

How wonderful to see the effects of your healthy changes work their way to make your daughter healthier too! You must be so proud. Great job.

Fantastic! What a gift you've given both her and yourself!!! Way to go, Mom!

Thats cute and wonderful:D. I love apples.. yummy.

That's great. Teaching her young will help her avoid the very problems we are all posting on this board because of LOL

That's great that you are starting her on the right path!
