At meal times eating the things my daughter likes best first so she doesn't beg more off my plate when she's finished hers. Finishing off the leftovers on her plate - I don't like wasting food.
When I was a kid, my Mum always told me to clear my plate. Unfortunately, this is something that has stuck with me and I have this problem with wasting food. Since having kids, I have made a conscious effort not to make them continue eating when full, but I still hate wasting food so I tend to finish what they leave!
Sometimes sneak to the kitchen to gobble some sweets or chocolate so I don't have to share. Although my DD is on to me now and can hear the smallest rustle of a bag
Hiding my chocolate in the drawer under the bed so i can munch on it whilst saying i am making the beds as any form of housework makes children magically disappear
When cooking we do cook very healthy but when distributing the meal out to everyone's plate I know I secretly give out all the sections I don't like to others and try to make my plate have more of the bits I like i.e. I will take more meat over vegetables.
