    Putting the kids sweets in the cupboard so they can have them a bit at a time but then when stressed pinching them

    Sneaky eating but I guess that’s more of a bad habit than a strange one! Also eating any cold leftovers, I never would have done that before having children

    Oh gosh, 

    If there was a thread most relatable to me this would be it! 

    I'd like to say I TRY to eat healthily, I cook my daughters and husband healthy meals. However, I'm so guilty of being a secret snacker (since having my children).

    When doing the food shop online I'll always order the 'odd' box of chocolates, pack of biscuits 'for everyone' but will secretly indulge myself (when noones around). On occasions my husbands opened a cupboard and an empty packet has fallen out (not so secret).

    I love a biscuit with my tea too (which turns into 3/4), if I'm having a bad day I'll treat myself to chocolate. 

    I went through a phase of attending the gym (and succeeding well) to then come out and treat myself to a bar of chocolate.. then punish myself later on.

    I'm quite strict about what my kids eat. I keep tasty treats in the car for me so I can munch on them on the way down for the school run!

    Buying chocolate for the kids, but buying extra so I can eat it too!

    I tend to eat my food extra quick so then I can’t sort the kids out. I eat more chocolate so they can’t eat it. I probably eat more cake as well. Think I’ve become a bit greedier too.

    Being a Keen Baker I always have to 'TEST' the results before giving it to anyone else to eat ! - pretending that it doesn't count when I know full well it's not good for me.

    Farley's Rusks. They're irresistible. They have replaced Hob Nobs as my favourite biscuit.

    I put my chocolate buttons in the door of the fridge and hide behind the open door and have a few at a time when I get something else out!

    Cooking way too much, it seems as though I can't just cook the right amount anymore ..as soon as I had children, I went into the mindset of making sure there was always seconds ... but the only person who ever wants them is me...(which I sneak when the kids are in bed). I also hide chocolate in my knicker drawer!

    My go-to comfort food is definitely chocolate Hobnobs! But I won't share so I will take them away to a quiet place where the children won't spot me!

    I always end up finishing off my children's dinner to avoid waste, now they say its OK because mummy will finish it. 
    Eating with your head in a cupboard helps me to hide a few things from the children. Also eating in the car when your children are safely harnessed in to their rear facing car seats. We are loving rear facing them for long for that reason as well as safety of course. 
    My husband won't come to bed with us so he can raid the cupboards alone.

    I've developed a taste for Fry's chocolate and hide them in the salad drawer of the fridge to keep them safe until I can quietly eat one in peace.

    I've been known to a) eat their Easter Eggs (they get far too many, I wouldn't want them eating all that chocolate...) & b) eat the leftovers of their dinners... Can't stand waste haha

    I think it's definitely hiding in the bathroom to eat chocolate the kids dont know about 🙈 Then hiding the wrappers inside something else so they dont even see the wrappers
