[quote=Anonymous]I'm in the same boat - ex allows a lot of junk food, far more than when we were together. I do all of the above - limit what I serve, teach and lead by example what is healthy eating, and up the exercise. Note that I don't mention that I'm limiting the junk or upping the exercise - I just limit portion sizes, encourage lower calorie snacks (a piece of hard candy vs. a bowl of ice cream) and say "no, you already had X today." That's enough to stop the weight gain for us. I'm kindof surprised your kids are getting noticeable heavier with just a few visits a week - how old are they? do you think they're eating more elsewhere? [/quote]
