I’ve had lifelong issues with my weight. I put this down in part to there never being chocolates and sweets in the house as a child as my mum was always on a diet. When I left home and could buy my own food I just went mad.
When I had my daughter I made it so nothing was “off limits” or for a “treat”.
Sweets and chocolate was just “there”. If she wanted it she could have it. Not for a “treat”- she was a child not a dog!!
She has always been slim and prefers savoury foods even now and doesn’t eat a lot of sweets.
It was a very conscious decision I made.
