Does anyone else have children that insist on eating off of your plate constantly. I am a mom of 4 and my kids have always ate off of my plate regardless of whether or not they have their own, it's never been an issue before to share my food but now it's making it really hard to count calories when I don't know how much of anything I actually ate. Is this a normal problem lol?

    Mama doesn't get enough food to share at my house!

    LOL, I remember those days. Maybe put extra on your plate, so when they snatch little bites, you are giving them some of the "extra" and you still have your regular portion?

    or, put something on your plate that you know you like and they don't!

    At this point I'm figuring whatever they eat is less calories in me, but as I lose weight and my allowance shrinks it might become more difficult
