How dramatic!

          Today, my world changed! I was taking pictures of a wonderful family and we begin to talk about cancer and everyone getting sick and it just really made me sad. when I came inside, I did just what your not suppose to do! I started to google cancer! How do we get it? Can it really be prevented? is there a magic food or vitamin we can take to avoid it?? WOW! There is SO much on the Internet!!!! You know they say, to not believe all of what you read! BUT, I came across this one site and it listed the top 7 foods to avoid BC they are the leading cause of cancer. Top 3: French Fries, Doughnuts and Chips.....I didn't make it past #3! THESE 3 foods, are the ONLY 3 foods Price has eaten for 5 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! I began to get sick to my stomach!!!!!! Literary, these are the only 3 foods he eats! AND, the sad thing is....often, he would want fries, then later eat doughnuts, I would feed him an applesauce and he would finish the night off with chips and I thought it was a good day BC he had "eaten" food that day and not just had his "pink"!!!! I'm telling you, I was in tears!
                Now, I know if your going to get it, your going to get it! BUT, I don't want to add to our chances! So, that did it for me, things have got to change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With that being said, I knew I couldn't completely quit the french fries, doughnuts and chips, but we can start to try other - healthy options!
                 I pick him up from school and I am ready! He immediately says, "I want french fries"...I say NO! He cries! and there goes my heart! I try to tell him that he has to change and we have to start to try new things. I don't want him getting sick. We make it home...(without the fries). Now, my first thought is I know he can and has eaten apples for his therapist.  They were very tiny bites and they played a board game  to get him to eat it, but he did it. So, I'm thinking we will start with apples, and maybe just more applesauce & yogurt...
I cut up 1 wedge of an apple, into 6 very small pieces........and it was on!!! I was ready!
              I walk in the bedroom, and I'm very happy with the apple pieces. He FALLS on the floor! I start out very sweet, he is crying, rolling around of the floor...after 3 minutes, I get more and more firm - I need to add this: I get VERY upset, when I KNOW he has eaten something and he wont eat it again!
with that being said, I'm getting mad,he is rolling around, hiding under covers, tucked away crying in a corner. I can feel my tears in my throat. I'm mad and I'm sad! WHY is it like this...????? I begin to bribe him with all sorts of things...I'm just so mad...then I finally win my bribe! He ask me to put the apples in his mouth for him, I do it! He eats 3 and we CHEER like you wouldn't believe!!!!!!!!!! This is huge!!!! YAY!!!!
