Here's some tough love:
You guys eat a TON of non-nutritious food. AKA garbage. You need to stop. It ruins your body and it ruins your finances. And you will teach your children to be OBESE and likely diabetic.
You asked for a 3 month goal.
In the next 3 months, wean yourself from the inside aisles at the grocery store. No more crackers, cookies, ice cream, and SODA. NONE. Chocolate milk is GARBAGE. Stop buying it. Your cart should be 3/4ths full with fruit, veggies, and a little meat and dairy. Only go on the inside aisles to buy beans, canned veggies, and pasta and frozen vegetables.
You need to wean yourself, your wife, and your kids off the sugar roller coaster. Snacks for my daughter include: fruit, cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, cheese sticks. We do have the applesauce pouches for the car. PLAN AHEAD. Bring food and plan accordingly. It's not that hard, kids are ALWAYS hungry. Always bring sensible snacks.
Your new grocery list is below. Almost EVERY ITEM has sugar in it. Where is the salad and greens? Where are the veg? It looks like you bought bananas and peppers and that's it. That's not going to be healthy for anyone.
You will feel so much better and healthier after you cut out the sugar crap you've been eating. And your children will be healthier and behave better.
