Another daunting task for me. Giving the kitchen a makeover.... (I wish it was more about remodelling that would be a good excuse to tell hubby - we HAVE to do over the kitchen - Mish told me too.... tee hee). But it's all about the food!!!! There isn't too much 'naughy' foods in this house as I had previously cleaned out a fair amout of it but I do have the occasional treats in there as my son is a very fussy eater and well as mums we all have our bribes in there. I know we shouldn't give our children food as rewards but some days you need that bribery and some days what ever works to get you through the day. I also figure that 'knowing' the treats are in the cupboard is going to present myself the opportunity to flex my willpower muscle and not have it.
I will be honest and say that I feel guilty not having some treats in the cupboard for my hubby as he rides a bike to and from work and when he gets home from work is likely to eat anything not nailed down so I like to know that there are some snacks in there for him as he also is a very fussy eater and is not going to reach for fruit.
It is something that I will have to learn to deal with regarding the children as they say 'be the example you want to set' and I don't want my daughter dealing with the issue of weight loss games when she is older if she learns to eat right when she is younger. We are getting there as a family. She eats a lot like me will lean towards salads as a side where as we give my son pasta and other carbs as he has been the same weight for quite a while now and is going to be a skinny boy probably even when he is older.
The other great part of the kitchen task is the opportunity to go shopping and get loads of fruit food. It's quite funny even though I buy in lots of fresh vegies its always the carrots and celery that dissapears first along with some of the fruit which is great that everyone like's to eat these but I just laugh as I then need a second shopping trip to do a few top ups during the week which is ok!
