[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all of the replies but I grew up eating VERY healthy.  My mom made almost all of our food from scratch and we rarely had desserts.  I'm a younger sister and my mom had loosened up a little when I was born so I had sweets more than my sister.  My sister didn't have added sugar until she was three, whereas I had sweets earlier.  I'm 40 and am not a picky eater at all, and neither is my sister, but we both went through periods in early adulthood where we went crazy for junk food and both of us gained a lot of weight and were overweight in our 20s and 30s as a result.  We've both figured out eating now but with my own children I'm letting them eat whatever, even sweets and occasionally fast food.  Nothing is "off limits" or "bad."  They still eat tons of homemade food as I cook almost every night.  I've decided not to worry about it after all I've gone through with food, they'll figure it out.  I still sometimes ask my husband if I'm "allowed" to eat things, which he is creeped out by because I'm an adult.  I don't want to do the same thing to my kids.[/quote]
