[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would compromise. Let them choose the foods and you limit the portions. If they serve pizza, limit to 2 medium or 1 large slice. Get some fresh veggies lthat don't need to be cooked like carrot sticks and cherry/grape tomatoes that can be eaten along with any meal. If they give treats or ice cream, you liimit to one small or half a big cookie or one small scoop of ice cream. You can still manage weight eating treats as long as you manage portion sizes.[/quote] This would be my approach. You can't control what anyone else cooks or offers, but you can teach your family portion control and moderation. Make sure you have lots of fruit and vegetables on hand. Before they can have ice cream, they need to have had X amount of veg at supper, and have snacked on fruit through the day. [/quote]
