Episode 150-My Family Won\'t Eat Healthy

My family won\\u2019t eat healthy. This is an excuse that I understand and yet I think it is one of the poorest excuses. When we are blaming our bad eating habits on our families we place all the responsibility for what we\\u2019ve done to ourselves on our families. I really don\\u2019t believe that is fair to them.

Most of the time us women are the ones who are both the cooks in the family and the ones who want to lose weight. Blaming our weight gain on our family\\u2019s eating habits is just crazy. If we are the cooks, we have the control over what we serve. We can change how we feed our families. If our families won\\u2019t eat healthy, it is our fault. Not theirs.

The same thing is true if our husbands are the cooks in our families. Many times, though, I find the husbands are cooking what they know their wives want. So that\\u2019s actually the wife\\u2019s fault. Or the wife is scared of hurting the husband\\u2019s feelings and won\\u2019t tell him what she needs to be eating. Communication is really the key here.

Maybe our families don\\u2019t need to lose weight but if they\\u2019ve been eating what we have been cooking and we\\u2019ve been gaining weight, then they need the same kind of changes we do. This is because when they grow up and they begin feeding their families the way we\\u2019ve programmed them to eat, they will gain weight.

So how do we fix healthy foods for both us and our families? Check out episode 150 of Sweet Grace for Your Journey podcast, My Family Won\\u2019t Eat Healthy.
