Parents do you have a secret junk food stash?

Absolutely!!!! I keep my junk food stash in one of the kitchen cabinets over the stove & behind the cans so they can't see it when I open the doors. I have a horrible sweet-tooth and don't want to encourage my kids to be that way so I don't eat much candy/junk in front of them.

After dinner I go into super sugar craving mode, something to due with the fact that I am a Vegan and might just need a little extra sugar than. Surely I don't want juice, I want Vegan cookies and stuff. I'm idea of junk is pretty mild, healthy cookies, raisins, sometimes a little vegan fudge, not into salty snacks, unless it is pistaschios.

I don't think I would even 'hide' these items, as they aren't terribly bad (might change if our family goes back to being vegetarians with the little ones around, but you never know), but I do think I might keep them away from little fingers so they don't get them right before bed (like myself).

I remember when I was a kid, my mother hid nothing from me, chocolate syrup in the fridge, cookies in the cubboard, sweets, you name it. They weren't all unhealthy and we never had much, but I loved dipping into them when I thought she wasn't looking. I would open the fridge and open the bottom drawer to the vegetable crisper and pull out a carrot, and then take a huge slurp of chocolate sauce. Ha. Maybe she didn't say anything because I just walked away eating a carrot too! strange.

Anyways, sweets are nice, especially when they are not around so often. Halloween treats are extra fun!

I go really go for some dark chocolate now.....

I don't go into chocolate cravings but normally I'l eat about 2 apples and 2 oranges, and two or three handfulls of raisens and a bottle of water before I go to bed...Atleast it's more healthy than doing the same with sugar gumdrops...Considering I'v actually lost weight from that for doing it for a year my immune system must be as strong as an ox from all thoose oranges!

No! if I had a junk food stash I'd be too tempted to keep tucking in, so I find it easier not to have one and go for the health options. "How boring is that"

That funny. Yes, I do but since my daughters only two, my stash is more like I only eat it when she is in bed.

Yes and no. My daughter knows where the candy jar is (in my bedroom) but it isn't there so that I can eat it, more like so she doesn't get into it. I am no longer allowed to eat candy or sweets until this baby is born in 11 weeks...

i doubt my mom's been hiding the good stuff.

and if she tries, i usually find it. (: i'm effing sliiiick.

anyways, i have my own stashes.

i've got a bed with drawers underneath, and a 9 dresser drawer.

i have a stash in one drawer in the bed and another in the dresser.

No, I got rid of ALL the junk because we all tend to have weight problems.

of course. Mines in my bedside draw so when i go to bed and the kids are asleep i can indulge into chocolate in peace.

haha. in the closet or under the window seat...although some stuff does get hot in there! Exspeacially marshmellows!
