I have been labeled the "Sugar Nazi" in the past. No kidding. My kids have never had the option of having jelly with their peanut butter. We've always done honey if anything... I use 100% whole wheat. Popcorn instead of chips and the kids have at least one piece of fruit a day. We drink water with every meal all day except breakfast. I don't use boxed meals or pre-packaged things. I usually cook from scratch. My grocery bill is lower than most friends with way less kids--- Until this past month and a half.
We have always done candy if everyone was good through out the grocery store, and we would let the kids get soda if we go to McDonalds, but we always get water in the Restaurants (Drink are expensive! $2x10!). We have had soda in this house since Thanksgiving! AND Candy!! It is crazy to me. My kids think I have lost it. BUT-- The end is in sight. :)
I have never been so ready to get back to veggies and water in my whole life. I feel sluggish and tired and have had a sour stomach for a month!! I am an adult and I can stop this at any time. We have had fun though. My kids know that come the weekend, all junk food MUST go. We will go back to having a healthy pantry. They seem to be ok with it. We will know Monday when we are all fighting sugar withdrawals and the grumps. Lord help us!! I told them the junk food was part of their Christmas present. Is that nuts? They got 1lb hershey bars in their stockings! *gasp* With no restrictions on eating them! *gasp*
Everything is running slower. My brain, my body, house. Im ready to get the sludge out. This week its organizing and cleaning the house and the laundry, next week it the cabinets and our bodies. Have a great one! Now back to the laundry...
