[quote=Anonymous]Hi,
I eat pretty healthfully- pretty much the Mediterranean diet (lots of veggies, whole grains, whole foods (not the diet) and we cook from scratch for most things. I work out 3-5x a week and walk a lot. I grew up in a house where my parents didn't  buy a lot of snack foods and processed foods. So I would gorged myself of that kind of thing at my friends'  houses. I don't want to raise my kids with that sort of mindset, and they are "good" eaters and eat everything.

My downfall is their carby snacks-- stuff that we send for school and keep for snacks, like Annie's cheddar bunnies, "veggie" chips, chips, etc.  We also keep nuts and fruit around for snacks. I can't just eat a handful of cheddar bunnies, much like imost people can't just eat one piece of candy.

Until I reached  my 40s, I felt like I could work off eating those snacks. Now, I feel like they go straight to my lower belly.

I think I am "abstainer" in Gretchen Rubin, but I don't want to restrict my kids. They are healthy/under weight and very active.  They have healthy relationship with food/sweets.[/quote]
