Of course they count, but our focus should be on nutrition. <br />I'd much rather have my kids read and understand the list of ingredients and the nutritional value of any packaged foods they are getting ready to eat. Sometimes they tell me that some packaged food is "healthy", but a closer look at the ingredients will reveal that it's a lot less healthy than they thought. That's what I want them to be able to discern.

My 7-year-old has taken to reading the calorie counts on foods. Apparently he learned from some girl in his class that calories are bad and make you fat. Argh! Calories are energy! Hate that kids are worrying about that kind of thing. I might need to blog rant about this!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06141946094101529553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7373309710888796550.post-20889916121497815702015-08-03T08:17:12.021-04:002015-08-03T08:17:12.021-04:00Great advice, as usual.

Not good unless you are comparing dumbbell finishings or whatever. Who said only girls worry about their weight? <br />But, back to the topic at hand, I am very grateful for a pair of jeans and a few skirts and dresses that my sister-in-law gave me when she cleared out her closet. We have a similar body shape and she was a little bit heavier, so her "fat" clothes flatter my rounder shape. I'm sad about my cellulite-y legs, though... I'm making some drastic changes to my diet and sleep habits, and have to schedule an appointment with a doctor (haven't seen one in .... 4 years????) to see if there's anything weird going on with my metabolism (blood sugar? adrenals? thyroid?)<br />I love your roommate Amy's saying!
