I am so particular about what the girls eat, 95% of the time. If I could hold myself to a similar standard, even 85% of the time, I think it would be great.<br /><br />Of course the girls don't really know the evils of the food they have never had (jelly beans don't call out to them from the candy aisle, as they've only ever had two jelly beans in their little lives!). It is hard to make the right choices many times, even though we KNOW they are the right ones.<br /><br />I had gotten into a terrible habit of snacking on CRAP after the girls were in bed. I would do fine all day, and then succumb to something icky (or even too much of something not-terribly icky) at night.<br /><br />I'm trying to curtail that habit. And I do believe - at least for me - it's a habit. <br /><br />Good luck, Deanna!MandyE (Twin Trials and Triumphs)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02510155408149227364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136676220962824875.post-20661027470774198382012-05-14T13:29:55.898-05:002012-05-14T13:29:55.898-05:00Good for you!

It was so easy to pick off their plates. I've now lost most of that due to exercise and using My Fitness Pal, which helps me to document exactly what I'm putting in my body. <br /><br />You can do it!Ceciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08536579955314104282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136676220962824875.post-83211249528477989872012-05-14T13:25:38.303-05:002012-05-14T13:25:38.303-05:00Good for you!
