Aaaghhhh! I just put fish fingers and chips in the oven for my kiddies and i desperately want some, even the smell of it frozen is good to me *embarrased face*

Does anybody else find it hard not to pick at yummy kiddy food?! i've started to chew gum whenever im making them this kind of food as i only eat the same as them when i have cooked a proper meal

    Yes, I struggle with this, if the kids have something different and they have left it, I find it extremely difficult to resist just stuffing it in my mouth and not counting it! To try to counteract it Im not throwing stuff in the bin as soon as someone says they are done with it! I have no willpower sometimes lol!

    Don't make it for your kids either. It's not healthy for them either.

    I am with you on this, my 4 year old is so picky and usually will only eat 1/2 of what I make for him. I hate tossing the leftovers since food is money.

    I try to make mini portions now and if he still wants more after he has to wait for me to make more or settle for instant food like an apple, banana, glass of milk, cheese string... etc I think I am saving my waist and he is probably getting better food this way too.

    very true, i shouldnt really and they normally eat quite healthily but a couple of times a week i treat them to their favourites :)
