Impact On Your Children

My son, Jonah always wants a snack after school so its always a challenge for me to NOT get myself one too. Today he picked out some Doritos. He allowed me to eat 12. He actually counted them as I ate them to ensure I did not eat more then the serving size. I asked him why he was so worried and he said he was glad I was losing weight because he wants me to continue being happier. :) How sweet!!!! Our kids notice and they care so much.

Now that will not be a common occurrence, but what is so cute about this story is how our children notice us and our ups and downs. He gets more snacks then we do because he is young and still growing but our habits have made a huge impact on him (as well as our other son). Jonahs gym teacher recognized that Jonah is losing weight too which gives me hope that our children will have much healthier lifestyles at an earlier age then we did!!!
