Child Fast Food Obesity - II

Maybe your child improved their school grades. This is a great time to use a fast food meal as a reward. Let us not use fast food meals to be the norm for our children to eat.

Sacrifices are needed to keep our children healthy. Realizing most homes have both parents working outside of the home, sometimes it is hard to have the time needed to prepare nutritious home-cooked meals. This is where sacrifice comes into play. You might have to prepare several meals at one time and put them in the freezer for later consumption.

Do some research to find out ways to help you help your children with obesity. Children need nutrition for their growing up years. Children do not need to learn to focus on fast food as their only source of food intake.

Child Fast Food Obesity

We have to be proactive and get our children away from the fast food industry. It will be difficult to make this change all at once but we must start by reducing the number of fast food meals our children consume. Gradually we will be able to eliminate fast food meals all together.

If you allow your child/children to eat at fast food chains every day, then start reducing these meals to three times a week. After about a week or two, cut it down to two times a week. Continue in this manner until fast food meals are just a “treat” as a reward for excelling at something.

Motivation

Without motivation, I would have given up trying to lose the weight I resolved to lose four months ago. I resolved to lose 80 pounds by the end of this year and right now I am at 22. I lost more on the scales but of course some of that was fluid retention. I am going to stick with this for the long haul. I am going to do a five-day fast once each quarter to keep me on track. What are you doing to tackle your weight loss problems? I have an idea, visit me at www.marymshields.usana.com.
