A FINAL THOUGHT:

It's all a process.  Take baby steps with your kids and make these changes as fun as possible. I feel strongly that teaching our kids healthy eating habits is a precious gift we can give them that will last a lifetime. If your kids really fight you, then you know you are doing something right!!!  Keep going and get healthy!
