I just wanted to share - I am a mom to two beautiful boys, 1 and 3 and 1/2 and since starting South Beach last month, something cool has happened with them. I am by no means a south beach saint - I keep returning to phase one because of slip ups (a beer here, a noodle there) but I have altered my overall eating habits a lot to sugar free foods and more veggies. So, yesterday I am making lunch for the boys and the 3 year old requests tuna on crackers, apple fries (sticks of apple dipped in all natural PB) and a cheese stick. My 1 year old also ate that, chopped for him. As we ate, I was struck by the healthy choices my boys are now making in response to what I keep in the house! We have switched from regular eggo waffles to special K waffles, almonds instead of fruit snacks or goldfish crackers...It is pretty amazing to me. I started SB for selfish reasons - I want to be thin and look good, but the difference in my family is almost more reinforcing than the weight loss!

Ooohhh. Priceless.

Amy, you give me more hope for the future. :Hug2:

That's awesome!! The last time I was over meeting with my nutritionist her 2 year old came out and was like mommy can I have some cashews, it was so cute!!

I love eating healthy!!

*wipes tears* LOL
That was truly an inspiring story!:Clap:
I'm hoping my postitive changes will effect my family for the better. For example, my 3 year old is hooked on a diet of toast, Pizza, Spaghetti, and chicken nuggets. I really want to change that!
Even though I havent officially began the diet yet (beginning phase 1 on monday) I read the book, and started making changes to my grocery purchases a few weeks ago. I had bought some low carb/low fat whole grain tortillas because we are big taco eaters...Well last night my hubby (Mr. Picky Eater) was in charge of making dinner, so I brought out both the regular tortillas and my new healthy alternative tortillas thinking, he would of course just make the healthy ones for me. Well when I sat down to my surprise he only prepared the healthy ones for the entire family, and also a big surprise was that the review was positive! Everyone liked them. So now, there's no turning back. It was very encouraging.
