I hate being FAT.

I am a mother of 4 girls who seem to be following in my steps. This year I want to change our families eating habit. Any suggestions?

Yep stop buying the proccessed type foods and become an avid label reader so you can avoid the nasty ingredients in the proccessed stuff you do buy..
do not buy anthing with hydrogenated oils or high frucos corn syrup when you do buy a packaged food the fewest ingredients is the best choice.. also don;t bother with diet foods they are a scam ...
fresh or frozen fruits vegies whole grains fat free dairy
lean meats and nuts in proper portions ...these are the basics of nutrion ...welcome aboard

Great resolution! My son has done a much better job in teaching his children the right way to eat than I did with him. Make small changes so it is not overwhelming and you can do it!

Small changes add up. Just by adding fresh cut up veggies and snacking on them BEFORE meals will help. Drink more water and walk 15 mins each day.

Think fresh and raw for most of your snacks and meal ingredients. Most of the prepackaged, preprepared things out there have added sugars, sodium and fats that increase their boxed weight, without adding any nutritional value and with adding all the crap that you are now wanting to avoid.
If it's not made "by your hands" you have no idea exactly how many unhealthy fillers are in the finished product.
Use sodium free herbs and spices, like Mrs Dash. Try to substitute Stevia or some other natural sugar substitute for white sugars.
Try to eat a rainbow every day. Fresh fruits and veggies, even pastas and rices with brighter deeper colors have higher concentrations of nutrients than "white" ones do. So substitute whole grain for breads, pastas and rice and peruvian blue or sweet potatoes for regular white fleshed(even red potatoes have white flesh, btw) potatoes.
Try to not "fry" foods in oils. Instead , spray them with PAM or Crisco butter or olive oil flavored cooking spray and roast in 425 oven till crispy. This is for veggies and meats.
Try not to buy chips and crackers, instead , buy fresh veggies and fruits or canned "lite or in own syrup" fruits. If buying canned or frozen veggies, make sure to get low or no sodium added.
Remember, you are in charge of what comes into the house, because you are the shopper. If it's not there, it can't be eaten.
Stay strong on your choices. Your kids may balk at first but they will definitely come around to the new choices you are giving them.
