Reply #65: Good for her!

[DemReadingDU]

My son and daughter are in their mid-thirtys now, but when they were growing up, I never bought any of that junk food, carbonated pop; just healthy foods, like fruit, low-sugar cereal, etc. But when they were adults, both started eating junk foods and cokes, and both gained weight. They can't figure out why. duh.

My son has 2 toddlers, and the family doesn't eat much healthy foods. I have mentioned to his wife that if the unhealthy food is not brought home, there is no temptation to eat it. She says...That she buys the candy and junk because she likes to eat it. another duh.

Until someone in the family has an illness that requires eating healthy, nothing will change. The best of luck to your daughter. She sounds determined, and it really helps to have the support of the whole family.
