Fence Rider!!!

[snobles]

So my 17yr. old has been what they call a fence rider! He's been trying sooo dang hard to go back to the old way of eating! But, we just won't allow it! I mean, we don't buy chips or cookies etc...anymore. and he's been trying to get us to get the old foods, and we're not caving! So finally he gave up, LoL...Lettuce wrap it is buddy. So, we figure it's because he sees us looseing the weight, now he's wanting to join in on the band waggon!
Also, I was telling a co-worker about cauliflower mashed taters, and she gave me the strangest look! Like what's wrong with you? Guess I'm going to have to quit talking about it at work, cause I get those looks all the time!!

Good for you!!!  I'm about to the point that I'm going to stop cooking the higher carb stuff for my family.  Not sure how my hubs will react though.  So far I've just been fixing things that it is really easy to eat either way.  Like when I fix spaghetti I cook it like normal (using a low carb sauce of course) the difference is I make myself the zucchini to replace my noodles.  I am quickly coming to a point of depleting my stock pile in the pantry.  Soon I will have to make a decision of either buy more or not....LOL  I find myself forgetting all the time now to buy regular milk for my daughter....LOL  She will return back to college soon and it will be just hubs and I again.  Poor guy doesn't know he will be on the road to being skinny soon      

I get weird looks all the time when I talk about it to...LOL  People sure are creatures of habit.....

Trying new things is good for the family.

Snobles, has your fence rider read the book yet? 

[snobles]

@Doug, LoL..NOPE! Like all teenagers, he thinks this way of life is a quick fix! and I can assure you it's not quick! Kinda, but not like he's wanting!!

I find when kids read the book the sugar spoons gross them out. You may want to ask him to read it but beware.....the kids quickly turn into the sugar police
