    My Grandma never took her own plate. "I eat like a bird", said Grandma. Meanwhile, she ate everything on my Grandpa's plate so he had to get seconds.

    I guess that would work if you want to have your children start with very poor eating habits

    That explains all the grown folks running around blowing their noses on other people's sleeves.

    My dad used to like to eat off of people's plates. I was the only one who let him do this. (This was before I counted calories though.) My brother used to pretend he was going to stab my dad with a fork if he tried to steal food.

    My dad has passed away and I miss him so please no snarky comments about his habits.

    The exact opposite when I was a kid. I was always eating off my mom's plate and she would pretend to be exasperated and say I was like a baby bird.

    My mother passed away last year. Sorry for your loss dear. x

    They make it so hard to accurately log your food though. :(

    Eat off a toddler size plate that has sections. Smaller plate smaller portions.

    I'm not sure what this means?

    It means someone is being judgmental.
