Are you stuffed, over stuffed or just right? I think I fell in the category of stuffed. I think I did OK. I did have too much to eat…hard to control our selves when so much yummy food is before us.

We had our first snow storm here in Michigan, everything looks clean and white. My kids were excited to see the snow and hoped they would have an extra day off. Well, our school has a philosophy…if the principal can get to the school…then so can the students! So sorry kids…yeah right!

My husband and I are going to follow my daughters eating plan to help her stick to it. Who knows maybe we’ll lose a few too…I sure hope so! She is going to be 16 and it’s hard when you are an adult let along a girl in high school and you are over weight. I want so bad for her succeed with her goal of losing 30 pounds. She as lost 6 pounds so far and part of her diet is to have a Designer Whey shake for her last snack along with 3 cups of popcorn. It is hard to make the shakes so a teen will like them but we are coming up with cleaver ways.

For example if you use the Designer Whey 100 Calorie Strawberry flavored and add a Designer Whey Lite & Lean 30 cal Berry Flavored 2GO packet its makes a sweet treat…

Or another is to use the 100 calorie vanilla flavored and add sugar free hot coco to it with some extra vanilla and whoala you have another sweet treat.

Now, I am not sure if it is wise to find alternatives or just go cold turkey and not alter the great products created by Designer Whey but when you are dealing with a teen that needs to lose some weight, we do what ever it takes for them to enjoy the eating plan to be healthy. Believe me, I wish my mother would have helped me to be healthy instead of suffering obesity that I suffer as an adult. I am 40, obese and can’t seem to reverse that tag that has been on me since I was a teen. Here I am trying to teach my beautiful almost 16 year old daughter how not to be like me…it is heart breaking for me inside to see her struggle like I did at her age. I hope we figure it out before she is 40…
