I love the ideas of measuring other metrics besides weight snaps mentioned! For the weight though, could you use a scale at the gym, sneak on at the pediatricians office when you're with the kids, or look for a second hand one on craigslist or a thrift store?

Can you add healthy fats and calorie dense foods to some earlier meals? Then you may not have to make extra effort or find extra time to eat again. Maybe add avocado to a breakfast smoothie, or coconut oil to oatmeal? Or maybe make kid snack foods that you also want to eat? I make low sugar, healthy granola bars, and then…
