Day 14 Not so Impossible

I am so surprised at the kids. They are doing so well! I thought it would be impossible for them to change, but like a Dr told me, the kids are easy, it's trying to get adults to change that's impossible. The boys transitioned flawlessly to this diet. While we aren't as strict with them, they are doing great. They switched over to all Ezekiel or sprouted breads, snack only on fruit, eat cheese, and meat, and some milk. They haven't once asked to eat at McDonalds. Of course, I am sure they wouldn't mind going, but if we don't go they don't think of it.
They do miss pizza, but in a few weeks when us grownups can eat grains, I am going to make sprouted grain crust and pizza again. Actually I could make tiny pizza's for them on sprouted round breads.
We are trying to find the right balance for them between a "perfect" diet, and the "real" world. We want them to eat great and not become addicted to bad foods, but we don't want to be so strict that they rebel or get labeled "weirdos" at school or anything. We may never bring cupcakes to school but we probably won't send them to an overnight party with their own supply of goat's kefir! LOL! Jordan Rubin has a Kids Great Physicians Prescription book that is great, and he has a 3 yr old that basically has eaten nothing but pure bible foods from day 1. It's great, and I think way to go, but at the same time there is a fine line. I don't want my kids either to look down on other kids. I hope they can be gentle educators about foods but not judgmental. Even now, Sawyer asks a lot of questions about what exactly is junk food and what is good. Looking at the other kids snacks, he is the only one eating fruit or anything not totally processed. So I want him to know this, but not start blabbing that they are all eating junk food! That might be trouble. I don't know, maybe not.
Here is a very funny story: (The kids are very into categorizing foods into junk food vs. not junk food)
I told Sawyer that next tuesday is the John Deere open house that we went to last year. I reminded him by mentioning the free food we got last year (cheeseburgers, homemade malteds, and cake). Every day now the kids excitedly ask if this is the day they "get to go to that Junk Food Store!!!!" They won't miss it for the world! LOL!
It would be nice if once in a huge while we can all indulge if only for a day and not expect it more often. To me that is a good compromise, to go back to the time when that kind of food is very special and associated with special times, not every day fare. Unfortunately we live in a culture that we want every day to be indulgent and special and "reward" ourselves almost daily, just because we deserve it.
