[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the PP. I will also add that I grew up in a household with a very relaxed approach to food, so I was allowed to eat as much junk as I wanted. That only served to intensify my sweet tooth. I advise you to stop buying your kids unhealthy snacks.[/quote]

I don't. DH does. I've talked to him about this, and he says they shouldn't suffer because I can't stop eating.[/quote]

Well, he is harming them long term. I wish my parents didn't allow me to eat refined carbs every day (especially considering they know our family's history with diabetes). My sister doesn't have a sweet tooth so she's fine, but it was really painful for me to cut out refined carbs--cake and donuts bring me actual joy. If I hadn't grown up in a household with a relaxed attitude about food, maybe my sugar craving wouldn't have developed the way it did. [/quote]

Fortunately-unfortunately, [b]they are all very healthy athletes with normal weight. They need some carbs to participate in their sports[/b].[/quote]

DP if you're the OP, your lax approach to food for your family is everything that's wrong. They need healthy carbs yes. They don't need junk food and sugar.[/quote]

They're not eating junk food. Healthy carbs, yes. But I cannot eat ANY carbs and successfully lose weight, which is why I call them junk.[/quote]
