[quote=Anonymous]My MIL eats like this. I find it easiest to do our own breakfasts and lunches without making a big fuss (compared to dinner) - we bring yogurt with fruit or unsweetened oatmeal, or I make a big frittata with lots of veg for everyone and even MIL eats it. I bring bag salads and snacking veggies like carrots, cucumber slices, cherry tomato, peppers for a side at lunch. Then at dinners I offer to make a side and do vegetable dishes. When I'm serving myself food I do 1/2 plate of the veg side and a smaller scoop of the unhealthy meal. Don't 'make' your kids eat anything, just silently put a handful of baby carrots or scoop of salad on their plate next to the pizza and don't draw attention to it. Put out a bowl of apple slices while everyone is hanging out and most of the time they'll pick at it. It also really helps to get myself and the kids out for a long walk during the day and make sure everyone is drinking lots of water. [/quote]
