No More McDonald’s ……No More

No More McDonald’s………..No More  

You may say this is a hard position to take, not allowing my daughter to have an occasional “treat” of fast food at McDonald’s. Truth be told if you are a parent out there wishing to remove MD’s off you food offering but your kid’s protest to much all I can say is JUST DO IT.  

The day we stopped eating MD’s poison Lauren was about 5.We watched as a family “Supersize Me”. After watching, even the 5 year old was able to understand how bad that food was for her body. We have never touched a MD’s poison burger again.  She didn’t want to eat there again.

You gotta watch this…It is Amazing.

Look what your puting in your body.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYyDXH1amic  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEM0T1Ar5Qo

My postion is simply. I am building a healthy athlete not an athlete that can’t decide on good food choices when mom isn’t around,This will take years of training and teaching.

I realize that with training schedules,school ,homework and more that one child to care for it can get a little hairy at time trying to get everyone feed and happy.  Planning is the key and when fast food is off the table as an option it will force you to plan accordingly. At first it was very difficult because not only did I take MD’s off the list but Jack In The Box,Carls, well just about all fast food exceptEl Pollo Loco(certain items only and In and Out (we love Hamburgers still) just not every week. When we travel to meets I think a head about food, I almost never leave it to chance. When your family is hungry they will eat what you place in front of them. 

There is no time like the present to begin, it only gets harder every year….look how hard it is for we parents to maintain healthy weight and exercise routines. Begin to practice what you preach.You and your family will be healthier fo the effort.
