I know that’s the worst motto but, as a parent, sometimes that’s life. I want my kids to have healthy eating habits so I don’t let them pig out and indulge their every craving for sweets. I steer them towards fresh fruit and vegetables as much as possible. To be clear, I’m not a super regulator or health food nut. (I kind of wish I was but it is what it is). We have sugar cereal and I let them eat sweets and candy. I just try to make sure those are seen as a treat and not an everyday after-school snack. If they tell me they’re hungry, I tell them where to find an apple or peach or grapes, etc. I just need to learn to tell myself that more often. Now as long as they don’t find me in the closet with the Swiss Cake Rolls, we’ll be all right.

We must be related because after the kids went to bed last night I had 2 pkgs (4 individual) swiss cake rolls and loved every bite.
I'm personally addicted to chocolate covered walnuts and I won't share. I think a swiss cake roll is a perfectly fine pick-me-up after a day with 5 kids.
Thanks for the love, ladies.
You're doing great Christy! I'm a dietitian and I do the same thing.
