Hi,

My vote is that you tell your kids what you told us in your first post - it's simple and honest. Just say that you're learning a lot about nutrition now, and that you and their dad want them to be healthy now and into their future. So from now on, things in the house are going to be a bit different. Have a little 'family meeting.'

I have to agree with CindySue that it's *your* house, your rules. If you want to change them, that's your right. It certainly doesn't mean the kids will be deprived, just that if they're going to eat junk, it's probably not going to be from your fridge anymore.

Best of luck. I wish my parents wouldn't have always kept junk in the house - maybe I wouldn't be on this forum now.
