With a name like zenhousewife, how can you not succeed??!!!!!

How old are your kids? Are they open to this kind of foods??

My own challenge was (and is) to overcome the easiness of the other foods which are around (and there's plenty) - it's taken a long long time not to be attracted to the other foods - but it is harder when it's available.

The best thing would be if your family supports you in your path - but if not, don't try to butt heads with them - if the challenge of their foods is too strong, try to find something else to do while they eat (fold laundry, do dishes, be close but not too close) and the harder challenge, if there's leftovers of their foods, don't even start - once I start, it's downhill for me. If you can sit and eat your food while they eat theirs, even better - but at the beginning it might be more than you can stand up to.

If you can find foods that everyone loves and is good for you, that's the best!!!!

Enjoy the ride - the ups and downs. Are you near others who eat this way??
