"Don't create arbitrary rules for eating if their only purpose is to help you feel in control." — Laura Usher
"Don't eat anything that took more energy to ship than to grow." — Carrie Cizauskas
"If you are not hungry enough to eat an apple, then you are not hungry." — Emma Fogt
"One of my top rules for eating comes from economics. The rule of diminishing marginal utility reminds me that each additional bite generally is less satisfying than the previous bite." — Laura Kelley

I worry about my children's weight too with obesity and asthma topping the charts for childhood concerns. (one of my children also has asthma) At our house we cut out the cola, and after dinner we can only drink water if your thirsty or your not very thirsty!. Another rule is that we don't get seconds anymore, our Dr. said they are just children and they get more than what they need on one plate. ( They will get use to it.) Also we never eat past 8 at night. I feel they have to have time to work their dinner off, and that does not happen if they are eating and just going to bed. I only have these rules because I have seen first hand the low self esteem that comes along with feeling overweight in a child, and to promote better habits early on can only help in the long run.
