[quote=Anonymous]Ok, what exactly is “three squares”.?  And the fact that you call it “stealing” or “infractions” tells me you do not have a healthy relationship with food and it’s a become a realm of control for you.

And what exactly do you mean by “seriously overweight”?

We have 3 meals, and a morning snack and afternoon snack.   I pretty much let our kids eat whatever but the only rule is that they do have to at least try whatever I give them. And also only fruit for snacks if it is less than an hour before a meal time.  They also help me bake and cook. And we almost always have some kind of dessert- for a while I was giving it to them as their afternoon snack because I felt like the after dinner dessert kept them up later at night.  Every one has different natural body weights and maybe my husband and I are on the slim side, and I do struggle with keeping weight on our kids.  One of them just has a lack of interest in eating, and the 6yo is going through a very picky stage but man does he love his savory snacks.

Nothing is off limits but I don’t keep certain things in the house like soda or sugary drinks other than OJ and chocolate milk.

What do your meals and snacks look like?  [/quote]
