Look around, and you will find yourself surrounded by people telling you “More Is Better.” This line of thought is also prevalent in the minds of athletes as they approach training. Unfortunately, it has led to an epidemic of Tommy John (UCL surgery) in baseball and a culture that thinks Insanity and CrossFit’s get-them-tired approach to training is the point of every workout.

Confession: The idea of journal-writing makes me cringe. I was never the teenager who kept a diary stashed in her bedside table, filling it nightly with hopes and dreams or doodling hearts around my crush’s name. In fact, in high school, when I had to keep a journal for English class, it was always the homework assignment I left for last.

And if you haven’t tried it yet, you’re in for a revelation.

When you’re late getting home from work and you’re already starving for dinner, peeling your vegetables before cooking them probably feels like the last thing you want to be doing. It tacks on a few extra minutes, which on crazed weeknights can feel all too precious. So is it really necessary?

As a new mom, I worried constantly that my daughter was eating too much or not enough vegetables, having too many snacks or developing an unhealthy attitude toward snacks. All that fretting was exhausting. And it turns out there’s another really good reason for not obsessing about her meals: it actually made her a better eater.

Here’s what I learned along the way. Trust me — you, too, can go from neurotic to normal when it comes to your toddler’s diet.
