[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t buy chips, junk food, etc. — if it’s not in your house no one can binge on it. Our one treat is ice cream, which we eat once a week (Saturday night) as a family treat. Kids are eating a lot more fruit, vegetables, yogurt, smoothies, nuts, etc because the junk isn’t in the house.[/quote]

I'd like to make fun of this but it just makes me too sad. (But yay, good for you, healthy mom?) Am I going to gain weight with all the junk food and carbs in my house right now? Yes. Is my 7-year-old already getting a little tummy on her, given I'm a single mom working at home full-time and leaving her by herself too much (and free to snack on stuff I haven't manged to put out of her reach) as I have one conference call after the other? Absolutely. This is literally the last thing I'm going to waste any energy worrying about right now. I'm assuming my kid will lose the extra 2 lbs she's gained this summer when she (hopefully) can go back outside on playgrounds and such and play with her friends.[/quote]
