[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every day.  My family is active, healthy, and fit.  We don't do disordered eating at our house.[/quote]

And it’s the kids that have strict rules and restrictions at their homes who come to ours and search out sweets and have zero self control. I just cleaned out the pantry and tossed tons of Easter candy. My kids have unlimited access so actually rarely eat sweet stuff.[/quote]

You shouldn’t be patting yourself on the back about this. One of my kids is like yours; never would binge any kind of sweet. The other would eat as much candy as they can get access to. It’s not my parenting or your parenting. It’s their wiring. [/quote]

I agree. We eat dessert sometimes depending on if the kids ask for it and what we have in the house. Never store bought sweets, but the kids and I both like to bake. For cookies we generally have some dough in the freezer so we can bake just the right amount. A fresh baked cookie or two or even three right out of the oven is so much more satisfying than days old cookies from a jar. We try to pair it with protein like a glass of milk.

My kids' Halloween candy sits around forever. Their best friends from next door who get dessert every day come over and want to eat all the candy. They weren't somehow cured of that desire by their parents willingness to serve regular desserts, popsicles, pop tarts, and sweets for snacks, sorry.[/quote]
