It is hard to look at food the same way. Here, it has only been 4 days and I already look at the crap the kids eat and think "how can I feed that to them while I am eating something so pure, so raw, so natural?". Easy answer, cost. And they are kids. They love vegetables for the most part which is more than I could say for myself at their age, but they are not much into eating steak, especially at breakfast when their eggos and pop-tarts have become a staple in their lives. Good for me, bad for them. Tonight was a struggle. The oldest earned an icecream treat, and even though it was sugar free, it was full of the fake sugars. Maltodextrin and sucralose were #2 and #3 on the ingredients list. But, to even get them I had to spend several minutes peering into the icecream referigerator. It was almost more than I could take. Twice, I seriously found my self staring, possibly drooling over some Americone Dream. I wisely left the store with bags of fish, chicken, and steak in my hands while Jacob had his bag full of icecream treats in his. Finished the night by eating a cucumber, not satisfied, and then some grapes, not doing it either. For now I will pray. And tomorrow I will get up and start day 5. It will get easier.
