When people read about the way I feed my family now, many assume I’ve known about healthy eating forever and that nothing about this is difficult for me.
Not true. We have not always eaten healthy.
Several years ago (when my blog was a baby) I wrote a series sharing my family’s healthy eating journey. Ugh, was it ever a journey. It still is.
All the fears and unknowns that many of you feel when you start reading about what is healthy and what isn’t – I totally get it. I’ve been there. Sometimes I’m still there. I haven’t arrived at perfect eating and never will. I’m pretty sure it’s not even possible.
So to encourage you to take some baby steps and to reassure you that you are not alone – I’d love for you to go back and read through this series of posts: Our Healthy Eating Journey. If nothing else, you’ll enjoy reading about how I became completely convinced that I should be eating organic food and free range everything, but like a crazy lady, I still guzzled down a Pepsi to go with my meals. (I told you. I get it.)
Our Healthy Eating Journey
If you’re interested, we have put together a simple eCourse to walk you through some steps to begin your Real Food Journey. You can tailor make this to fit your family’s needs. It’s called You Can Do This! Because truly, you can, do this. :)
What are some steps you’ve taken on your healthy eating journey?
I’m nowhere near where you are in guiding my family toward healthier eating (and am not sure I ever will be), but your blog has encouraged me to be more deliberate about providing fruits and veggies (freggies!) and using more real food ingredients. Thanks for the inspiration!
One of the reasons I love your site is because of your balanced approach to healthy living. We’re dealing with Type 1 Diabetes, Celiac Disease, and something else called Ketotic Hypoglycemia, and while healthy living has become essential, it’s not at all easy! There are times when things fall apart completely. I truly appreciate how you cover your family’s healthy journey with grace. It’s really encouraging to me. Thank you!
