Reply #8: That's so terrific...

...that you stay active and get your kids involved in races and family hikes. It will pay
off in the long run. What an incredible gift you're giving to your kids! They'll be more
likely to continue those healthy habits into their adult lives. Kudos to you!

It's really a battle with the food, isn't it? And it's not the same as when we were kids. I
remember eating those Snowball cakes. Remember those...chocolate round cakes with creme
filling, with an outer layer of marshmallow rolled in coconut??? Oh yum! A snowball back then
was made with real sugar and fats. Today's HFCS and partially-hydrogenated fats are a whole
other level of bad. Both are bad, but today's food is just toxic--and so addictive!!

Best of luck to you. You are a good parent! :)
