Only time I eat sweets is when we have a celebration (King Cake waiting for me next Tuesday), or after kids leave; I have enough issues trying to lose weight

I wait until nap if I need to have a treat. I found frequent snacking to be a downside of WAH, so I try to eat healthy with the kids to avoid it. I like fitting into my jeans. ::

Currently I have to battle my 16 month old DS for my morning coffee. If he hears the coffee brewing, he will stand by the counter until it is finished and he will follow me around screaming and crying for a taste of the coffee. The kid loves coffee.

During daycare? If it is a particularly rough day, I will reward myself with a can of Mt Dew during nap. It used to be daily, but I am cutting pop out, and I haven't had one in over a week. Now if only I had as much restraint when it comes to quick snacks during nap.

I have the opposite issue... seeing and/or watching these kiddos eat causes me to lose my appetite.

But if I did want a snack or a drink, Im with Baby Beluga and would have what I want when I want and I wouldn't give the DCK's a second thought.

I'm the adult....and part of my philosophy on child rearing is that life is not fair and I will never teach a child that it is.

HAHA! SAME!

I finish off the kids veggies, daily. I really like them, and it helps the kids eat them more when they see them eaten and enjoyed. I make a big production if they 'eat all the veggies so I can't have any...'

nap time? Diet pepsi, everyday. Don't care.

Reverse psychology! I like it! I have actually tried this with my own two kids though, and they usually say "go ahead eat them".... I think it may work better with the toddler age group.

I'm reading this thread as I'm grabbing a Little Debbie brownie for a sugar rush. ::::

Me too! We had broccoli today which my kids LOVE. I was annoyed they actually ate most of it and I hardly got any::
But then I just had a Cadbury cream egg during nap time ::
But yeah, I even plan my lunches because I found myself grabbing junk after I would get the kids down. A treat now and again, sure. But I was getting into bad habit territory

This sounds like me. I eat plenty of veggies & healthy food, especially with the dcks. I actually LOVE veggies. But when I'm stressed I just need an Oreo. Not everyday. But if I want one it's rarely ever during nap time. Lol its typically a result of many little ones crying, fighting over toys, etc. I feel like if I can pop one in my mouth undetected by a room full of 2 year olds I can probably conquer the world. ::it's empowering.
