Eating all their left overs. It’s hard to diet when you have children. I eat the crusts when I make sandwiches for them. I ‘steal’ wedges from pizza etc before I serve them. Oh and don’t get me started on Halloween and Christmas sweets. The temptation is too much.
when I put my fish fingers in the oven, I put in an extra 3 so I can have a fish finger 'buttie' (with oodles of ketchup which I don't allow my children to have).
Okay I'll confess. I grab a spoon and eat ice cream straight from the freezer without bothering with a dish. It is usually a desert spoon with as much as I can cram on it. If I go back for seconds I use a clean spoon though...I get through alot of spoons.
I still react oddly when I smell toast. When one had finally given birth, one was finally allowed to have something to eat, which, in the restricted facilities on the maternity ward, was toast. Lying in bed waiting for one's own birth, and jealously smelling the toast given to those who had recently given birth was quite compelling!
I eat more convenience snacks and overindulge on chocolate and ice-creams for a quick enjoyable fix late in the evenings once the little one has gone to bed
We have a secret biscuit/chocolate stash in the bedroom but we have to be careful to hide the evidence (crumbs, wrappers) for the morning as my son is a super detective when it comes to combing the room for evidence of contraband!
