Did your parents reinforce good eating habits, or did you have to train yourself when you were older?

We had 3 square meals a day. We had to have milk in the am and my dad wouldn't let us drink soda with Dinner. ONLY water! That's disgusting as a kid! But that's about it!

My Mom cooked the best meals, but they may have not been all that 'healthy' mmmmm, but they sure tasted good...
I love going to her house for home cooked meals!!!!!!!!!!

I was always the skinny kid who never finished her food when I was really young.Then I was the teenager that couldn't gain a pound no matter how much she tried.Now I have to workout 3 to 4 times a week so I can enjoy eating things I like without gaining weight.

I used to hate eating, but I started to love eating when I began working full time ==> so many different foods to try and I finally was making $$$. Didn't really have to watch weight until a year or two ago at which point, I began to lose muscle.
So, weigh the same, but more fat, bigger and less muscle. Trying to turn it around.

My eating habits were pretty good... 3 meals, lots of veggies and fruit. I just have a veeeeery slow metabolism as an adult, and I truly do enjoy food, and loathe exercise. That's my problem in a nutshell.

Re: What were your eating habits as a child??
For the most part my mom always stressed eating wholesome foods: she never bought wonder bread, only whole wheat, no sugary cereals, soda was only for special occasions like alcohol, and she only bought 100% juices (I used to be so jealous when everyone had capri sun and hi-c!). I used to complain then, but I'm grateful about it now.
The only thing is that my parents didn't stress excercise, let us eat too many chips, and let us watch a little too much TV

Re: What were your eating habits as a child??
I ahve alwats had a probelm with food...My mother said that my first first' I am just a little bit hungry' My mother cooked healthy but watched everything that I ate... So what did I do i got it from other places.. Friends houses, School, I even snuck food when I was little. I think as a adult I have such an issue with food...I feel now that i more in contro; and It has taken me all this time to realize that we are responsible for our own reations. If I want to eat peanuts I have to take the responsiblity for eating them....I think my mother finally admiting that she is one of the main reason why I have an issue with weight really help as far as my new outlook on my health...

Dinner was almost always cooked, but it was always meat, potato, vegetable. No soda, except w/ pizza. And I drank whole milk till I was like 16!!! They let me eat whatever I wanted, but growing up it didn't really matter b/c I was in dance class, gymnastics, swimming, horseback riding - I was always very fit. I quit all that at around 16 and my metabolism is not what it used to be. And I sit at a desk all day!! So the weight has crept up.

WHOO BOY...pretty bad! Not because my parents didn't feed me well, but because they fed me TOO well. I'm from an Italian family so Sunday dinner is an all-day, 6-course event! Add to this a grandma who constantly tried to get you to eat more and a dad who'd put extra helpings on your plate whether you wanted them or not!!
