[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I relate to what everyone wrote. Both my daughter and my son do like to have some treats and unlike how I was as a kid, they really only want a a serving of a treat or less and that is enough. They like how healthy eating feels and they both have healthy BMIs and play sports.

The mixed messages are endless. I think I ignore it, but the putting food onto my plate and pushing me to eat it is a bit much. A friend of mine who's family struggles with alcohol had a similar example with alcohol at her gathering last night. These days sugary stuff does not tempt me much because I feel so much better without it, but the first time she did that to me I was trying to get off sugar because I was close to the age a lot of people in my family started to have insulin issues and it took a lot of willpower to not give in. I was never a moderation person with sweets.

The eating instead of dealing with emotions nails it and describes probably 75% of my family and 50% of DH's.

Thank you![/quote]
