I have 2 young girls (7 and 5) and am very aware I don't want to tell them mummy is on a diet. When I was growing up my mum was always on one diet or other and my dad was always sneaking chocolate without her knowing lol and I'm sure it's got something to do with my weight issues now.
i tried the 5:2 diet earlier this year and my eldest started asking why I wasn't eating or why I was eating different. I always made up an excuse but knew it wasn't a long term thing. Now on sw I know I can cook meals that we can all eat together and the children don't need to know anything is different. This is why I'm a little reluctant to do the EESP as my meals would have to be different.
What are others thoughts on what you tell children regarding loosing weight?
