Life is Changing

On Thursday, I must drive an hour and a half one way to go into my office. I leave my house at 5:30 in the morning and return around 12 hours later. It makes for a long day. Prior to my lapband I would always stop and eat on the way home. I think some of it was stress release. However, I would also pick some kind of junk up for my kids. As I was driving today, I realized that since I have had my lapband, I have not stopped. Not only does this benefit me, but it benefits my children. All of my boys take after my husband's side of the family. They are tall and very fit. However, my daughter of course has inherited my side of the families traits. This change is a huge benefit to her as well as me. I am also blessed to have a very supportive and health conscious husband who encouraged our children to be healthy from the beginning. Now that I have my lapband, I have found that it is so much easier for me to be a wonderful role model for good health as well. This is truly a blessing that I am so thankful for everyday! :smile2:

I am with you..I have a 3 yr old that is a wonderful eater but he also loves all the bad stuff too. When I got banded I finally get that hit in the head that I needed that if my son does like all the good foods why AM I feeding him the bad stuff. So for snacks we now have fruits and carrots instead of chips. We always did eat SF popsicles but now we eat them together instead of me eating ice cream. He makes me feel good by saying "my momma cooks good things for me" or "my momma is a good cook" where as before he only got home cooked meals from his grandmas. He has always been my motivation..he will continue to be...I hope your family will continue to be yours as well! Take care!

Bonus for you is, even if the boys are tall and thin and in no worry of their weight, their hearts and health can be a totally different matter.

Keep in mind this isn't just a body image we are working towards but better overall health. Your boys are benefiting so much more than you think!
