flu – those popsicle molds are a great idea. I’ll have to see if he’ll go for it. He really likes the “cream” part of ice cream. Maybe I can nudge him in a healthier direction. I was getting him to eat some apples when they were in season.

Eating habits are hard to change. It’s a social thing, too. There’s stigma w/smoking and drinking, but people have to eat. Going out to dinner w/friends can mean unhealthy eating, depending where you go and what you select. You have more control when you do your own cooking. But when people work full time, it’s not always easy to find time and energy to cook.

During the winter I use a crockpot and toss chopped vegetables in there in the morning before I go to work. Dinner is ready when I get home. I got my girlfriend to do it w/chicken and she HATES to cook. She was happy to have a healthy option than fast food.

Now why would I punish myself in the process? 😉

Fine line between telling someone what to do and just suggesting. If he’s happy eating ice cream, I’m not going to control him. But if I can get him to eat an apple sometimes, then it’s something. He’s not a kid. He knows he’s indulging. At least he goes for a run once a week and gets some exercise.

Trust me, a lot of men are kids inside anyway, even when they are responsible elsewhere. That’s why I get along with my kid just fine… 🙂
