    Expert Answer
    Set small goals that you know you can accomplish. If you choose not to do those things, take ownership of that decision. Meeting your goals is a step forward, but deciding not to meet them, and owning that decision is also a half-step forward. You'll realize that you are in the driver's seat, and you can decide whether you're more comfortable now or when you reach your goals.

    Expert Answer
    Make food and eating a positive experience. Have your kids start cooking with you from an early age. That's a good way to raise a kid who likes a variety of foods and enjoys eating. Allow babies and toddlers to feed themselves as soon as they're able, and let them touch and play with their food so they can get used to different textures and tastes. As kids get older, talk to them about foods that will make their body healthy and strong, rather than focusing on how foods affect the size or shape of their body.
