How does a parent handle Halloween?

In the beginning of our healthy journey we went trick or treating...However did we just did not  say here is your candy you earned eat all you want...NO Way.

Patience was only 5 years old. I was terrified of her getting diabetes. What we did was say get out five of your favorite pieces of candy. Keep them. And trade the rest  in for a toy.

She was on board. Every since then it's all about the excitement of dressing up not the candy.

Last year we made a Halloween gingerbread house and rented movies. She doesn't feel left out.

She sees recipes for  healthy treat's and says hey momma let's try this it's much more healthy!!

Patience Today



 5 years later Patience has kept her weight off.  Her Halloween outfit is size 12/14. I'm so proud of this little girl. She tries so hard.
