Being a mom, I can't imagine my child not having a meal. That's hard to digest.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Being a mom, I am even more inspired to really help make a difference. I can't imagine what it would be like if my child didn't have a meal to eat.
As a parent, I know how difficult it can be to encourage your kids to eat well.
Kids don't eat fast. They take their time; they talk and laugh. Sometimes it's really annoying, because you're like, 'Come on, it's bedtime!' But try it: You'll fill up before you know it, because it takes 20 minutes for your brain to know your stomach is full.
A child, like your stomach, doesn't need all you can afford to give it.
But unfortunately, when you have a kid, you sometimes eat everything they leave behind. So far today I've had some of her leftover pancakes with peanut butter.
Being a mom is hard, but I don't want people to feel like they always have to go straight to the TV dinner or go to the fast food because you have a busy, hectic life.
I have a history of eating disorders but, as a mother, you think of being an example to your child. I'm so much more balanced than I was.
You can't be a parent and say, 'I need you to be more active and I need you to eat right,' when you're still choosing to have poor eating habits.
As a kid, I got three meals a day. Oatmeal, miss-a-meal and no meal.
A food is not necessarily essential just because your child hates it.
