[quote=Anonymous]I snuck food around that age. My parents were not super controlling. We did have sweets in the house. I wanted a bowl of ice cream sometimes when I got home from school. My parents weren’t home and I knew I wasn’t supposed to bf dinner. I never developed an eating disorder and have always been a pretty healthy eater. It was control plus sweet tooth. I grew out of it. My daughter has candy wrappers in her room sometimes. We just tell her please don’t eat in your room. We have candy in the house and they just need to ask mostly we say yes unless it’s bf dinner. Both H and I had access to sweets growing up. I have them in the house too. I don’t want my kids to feel like they are off limits. I think that leads to disordered eating. We also eat dinner as a family 5xs week even if it’s late bc of sports and all eat the same thing. I think this is all important to model for kids. [/quote]
