[quote=Anonymous]PP - I posted the 'honest question' post above. I believe you when you say you don't have significant food. I think though that you realize now that your sense of *actual* portion size needs is different from what you thought, and you can adjust that easily. But I also want to point out that you seem afraid of 'messing up' your kids relationship to food, and I just want to say that restricting food amounts is probably the quickest way to mess that up - people with food insecurity often develop disordered eating habits. Providing healthy foods and allowing your kids the ability to self regulate a mounts is the best method to foster a healthy relationship to food. So just make more food each night until you get leftovers, and start by doubling your current idea of the amounts - what you list is seriously what I would make for my family of 4 that including 2 elementary school girls.[/quote]
