It's a big problem having food around and I've slowly made the shift to adding in some healthy options to when I get food for group, retreats and events. I am bad with my own personal food intake and needed to do something or else my wife would be a widow with 2 little girls. I've dropped about 25 pounds in about 6 weeks and trying to get down to 220. We have to take care of ourselves.
Great word Ty. I can get completely out of control with the amount of junk food I take in when I'm with my youth. If you have any suggestions for healthy food that youth like, post them. BTW, are you going to Orange next week? If so we should connect.
I've been shocked that a lot of my kids have been liking the fruit trays and carrots and celery that I've been adding in. As a kid I wouldn't have touched that stuff if you paid me!
I think they all get so much junk that having something fresh and healthy is something they respond to. At least my high school students anyhow.
But then again, they all wash it down with Mt. Dew and Monster. Yikes.
Unfortunately I won't be at the Orange Conference, but I'm looking at the possibility of adding it to my sabbatical next spring.
