Zach learned a good lesson tonight! He came home from a dinner at scouts and bragged about all the food he "got to eat" and named a few like hot dogs, cheedos and candy. Apparently he ate like 4 hot dogs with "white bread" as he so wanted to point out and some other "crap". He was all sorts in a good mood and then 20 mins later her felt so sick and horrible. We used this as a good time to talk to him about why we have changed our eating. We told him that over the years we also have done the same thing (to which I pointed out the past 6 years of me being sick and not changing my diet). I asked him if he ever feels that horrible after eating at home (since we have made eating changes), to which he said "no" and went to bed feeling like he was going to throw up. He said he wanted to go back in time and not eat so much, which was also a good time to tell him that we all do things we want to take back, but we can't...all we can do is learn from what we did and make a better choice next time. I think he got the idea! I'm sure this isn't the only time he'll rebel against our choice to eliminate certain foods, but hopefully next time he eats just a tiny bit less and thinks just a tiny bit more about how it will make him feel if he chooses lots of junk food.
