my journey to health
about their food because they know that complaining about it is not okay and not respectful (also because their food is normally delicious). On the rare occasion that they have complained, I just look at them, and say something like, “Are you serious?” They quickly say, “Sorry Mum.” As adults, we would never do this to others who had cooked us a meal, so we shouldn’t allow our children to do it by cooking special meals when they complain.

I haven’t always eaten such a clean diet, and I haven’t always been the perfect weight. When I was growing up, we were very poor, and couldn’t afford the best food. In addition, I was given at least 50 doses of antibiotics during my short little life, which well and truly ruined any chance of my having a healthy gut or digestive system while I was younger. In my teenage years, I was quite slim. But, once I graduated from university, it took me quite a while to find a job, and I went from studying non-stop (I was an overachiever who insisted on getting straight As) to having nothing to do. My sister was working at Pizza Hut at the time, while she studied at university, and was overweight. She had been an anorexic teenager ...is a piece of cake
