Top 10 Weight Loss Tips for Moms - Tip 3 Eat Real Food!

While it may seem obvious what real food is, I continue to realize that this is not true for many people. I was an educator for 10 years and I was shocked at the "food" some parents sent with their kids to school with. A dozen cookies, a bag of chips and a slice of processed cheese on white bread with a sugary drink to wash it all down. Try teaching kids after they have eaten a lunch like this. In a kindergarten classroom I would always encourage the kids to bring fruits and vegetables in their lunches. One little girl would always come to school with those gusher type gummies labeled "Fruit Gushers". She was always embarrassed that she never had any fruit and when she asked her mother in front of me one day, her mother looked confused and said, "Hunny, that is fruit." Wow, how did this happen? My grandparents raised their kids mainly from their garden!
