Improving Family's Eating

I have eliminated junk aka High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) and trans fats from our everyday eating. I was inspired by a close friend who grew up on this great eating style. All the info was overwelming so we met a at a cafe and she told me all about it. I also researched it in depth online. I felt with the information I knew now regarding this junk we could not keep eating it. HFCS and trans fat lead to poor health such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. I read more about it online and of course Oprah had a show with Dr. Oz explaining the ins and outs of this junk. Later we began consuming milk without recombinant bovine growth hormone (RBGH)and eliminated sugary drinks and carbonated drinks including my fave, DR PEPPER. (Stepping back on what I just wrote, Wow really?! I had the strength to do that?!)

I will also share other health changes we have made. I feel like once I started to educate myself on our health it was a rush of information of things that were harmful to us. I had to take a deep breath and make the changes as we could. I've made these changes over time now notice I said over time it was not done in a day. Sex and the City, the movie was not created in a day neither were our changes. I sit here telling you about all of this and feel content that I have made these changes. Wow, that's me! I did it!!! I'm not done yet making healthy changes but I'm on my way. I will proudly share with you what I have done to save my Family.
