10 New Eating Habits Moms Pick Up

"I eat off my daughter's plate — especially if she's having pizza or mac and cheese!" — Amy W. of Carriage Before Marriage

"I feel the need to eat all my children's leftovers so that I don't waste them by throwing them away. This is not good for my waistline!" — Missy J. of Far From Flawless

My 'off' diet consists of soggy cereal off a highchair tray, peas and corn off the floor, and slightly soggy bread that has had the cream cheese sucked off. God forbid she should leave me any of the good stuff like pizza or chicken fingers. This is why I have to keep the house clean. Just clean enough that eating food off of random surfaces is not 'that' gross. It's certainly quicker and easier than preparing my own food." — Lindsay of Miss Spartacus

"Coffee. Never liked it before, but somedays I really need it." — Stephanie P. via Facebook

"I drink coffee! I used to hate it, now it's something I need on a daily basis!" — Silvia M. via Facebook

"I used to eat much more regularly before I became a mom. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner at approximately the same times each day was an easy feat to accomplish. Now, I seem to eat very irregularly and often times skip entire meals due to the craziness of mommyhood. Oh well, hopefully I'll get back on track one of these days." — Melissa C. of Mommy Living the Life of Riley

"Eating junk (that I won't feed my kids) after they go to bed!" — Kali C. via Facebook

"I actually eat breakfast now, and I don't drink energy drinks anymore." — Chelsea D. via Facebook

"Eating breakfast every day." — Jodi M. via Facebook

"Fruit snacks. I have no idea why but those little cartoon packs are my biggest temptation." — Miranda E.

"I'm on the 'foods you can eat one-handed' diet!" — Krista via Facebook

"Eating in places that were hidden so I didn't have to share food with my kid. She'll want to eat my food even after her own dinner, so even if I wait to eat after she does . . . she still wants my food." — Stephanie G. via Facebook

"Eat fast or you don't get to — Dawn K. via Facebook

"I eat with lightning speed since I don't get to relax during meals anymore. I used to be the slowest eater." — Chris F. via Facebook

"My kids prefer raw vegetables over cooked so now we primarily eat salads and raw veggies." — Tiffany M. via Facebook
