No wonder we are gaining weight! We had a decent breakfast/ lunch and just a little while ago, a childish voice blurted out "I'm hungry!" when the belly churned and McDonalds came into view.

Lol, how many times in the past that we eat and eat and eat.

I think we need to nip this in the bud and work out an eating schedule which includes a snack time of fresh fruit instead of burgers and burgers and more burgers. Lol

Anyone have eating problems with others and littles? How did y'all manage it?

Same here. Each meal is a large one, and I'd be lying if I said it's not playing havoc on my weight. A few others voice their desires for junk food. Drive passed a KFC, "can I have a burger?". Drive passed a pizza place "can we have one with pineapples?". And there's enough temptation in the house. There's always a pack of cookies in the cupboard. I'm allergic to gluten. Trying to fight of the craving for biscuits, or cake is difficult. Add a little to the mix, and voila, you have "I'm having one!" Closely followed by a cookie in my mouth...

About the eating schedule: that's a really good idea. I haven' figured out how to fix it yet. I just went to the store today to stock up on fruit and yogurt. And hope like Hell, I can hold on to this diet long enough for it to impact on my weight and encourage the others to eat healthy. The main problem is the little's want for cookies, and cake. And the older ones wanting pizza, or the like, every bloody day.

When you figure out a plan that works,AC2, please, please share.

You betcha hun, but we're also having the same problem with the drinking. It's hard t quit when the others are boozing it up!

What about an intervention? Maybe you all can inform the others about the benefits of quitting.

We usally are in agreement in the morning when we're feeling bad, but later in the day the forgetter kicks in. I've seen my car turn in to the beer store by itself several times???
