Mommy Vacuum Syndrome

I obviously got fat because I ate the world and one of the main pieces of the world was in my kids' plates. I hate throwing out food so I would vacuum clean their plates (I think I put extra food in their plate so there would be leftovers for me to eat). My girls are in that stage where they just lose interest in food and every meal is a challenge. I still want to eat their leftovers but I am throwing out more food than I would like (they never want the leftovers the next day :angry: ).

Are there any other MFP mommies (or daddies) out there with MVS?

    My hubby struggles with that. He really has a hard time seeing it go to waste. What he has been doing is just when the kids do have leftovers, he packs it up. If the kids dont want it the next day, then he will have it for a meal. Although, my kids are great eaters, so it doesn't happen as often, but I would suggest maybe packing it up for you the next day if the kids wont eat it.

    Smaller portions, if they want more they can have a little more!

    Smaller portions and putting the left overs up for later.
