[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the parents who say "my kids don't eat that".

I was raised in a home where I never ate sugar or drank soda, my mom used to brag the same way about how great my eating habits were. How healthy I was from all the "nature" food I ate (damn hippies) - as a teenager I had horrible binge eating disorder and obsession with sugar.

To this day, my eating habits are horrific. Tonight, I had sugar cereal and diet coke for dinner.

Moderation people. And for your freaks out there who strictly limit your childrens intake of food....let mine be cautionary tale. [/quote]

I have a similar story. In college, I restricted myself so much that I'd wake up in the middle of the night and gorge on a half jar of peanut butter. If I allowed myself to have some chocolate, I couldn't decide which kind and would buy four candy bars "for a taste of each" and end up devouring them all. It was so unhealthy. All I ever thought about was sugar. It actually took getting pregnant to overcome that thought process. For the first month of pregnancy I luxuriated in being able to eat anything I wanted; then, after a month or so, the thrill wore off and I realized what most people with a normal outlook on food realize: IT'S JUST FOOD. Post-pregnancy, my former raging sweet tooth is almost nonexistent. I rarely eat sweets, and when I do, I can have a bite or two and be satisfied because I understand that I can have it whenever I want, it's not life or death, it's not THAT great, and I'm satisfied with what I have.

I'd way rather my daughter grow up with that attitude, that everything is fine in moderation, than have me strictly limiting everything she eats so that when she's older she binges on foods she was denied while she was growing up. [/quote]
