When you have been doing something for so many years it becomes second nature to you or a habit.
For example you have cooked Lasagna the same way since you learned how to cook it.
Then you find out that you should not be cooking it that way if you want to lose weight and become healthy.
Why is it so hard to change when you find this new information that teaches you how to be healthier.
You know you will have more energy.
You know you will feel better.
I do not know, because I struggle with this myself.
I have just learned that you should not eat a meat and a grain together.
Meaning the hamburger and the lasagna noodles together.
If you want to lose weight and make your family healthy.
Cook a meatless lasagna.
I think I struggle because it tastes different than what I am use to.
What is even harder is because my kids are older and they are use to me cooking lasagna that way.
Then the added stress I get from my kids is they say they do not like it after I took the time to make it.
Or they take one look at it and they refuse to eat it, which hurts my feels because I am trying to do something good for them.
I wish I would of found out this information when my kids were younger I think it would have been easier to make the changes then.
That way I would only have to work on my own struggles.
What is great about our body is that once you start eating healthier and change your eating habits you will no longer like the old way of cooking.
This has happened to me before when I took a break from eating fast foods.
I did that for a few months then I had a break down and purchased a double cheese burger from McDonald's.
I did not realize how salty it was.
I never felt like that before.
I loved McDonald's double cheese burgers.
Now they just taste different to me.
I know once I make the decision to change and start doing it.
I will love the new way after time goes by.
Also I need to give my children time, it takes 7 times seeing something new for someone to try.
I just have to take that first step for myself and my family when preparing meals! Meaning Pop the soda Pop manufacturers.
Pop them right in the face.
They are hurting our kids.
