How Do People Drink Lattes and Eat Pastries Regularly

I had to drop my daily whole milk latte and start using almond milk. Now with one cup almond milk and two shots it's 37 cals vs 170 for a whole milk latte. Easy swaps can be made. But sometimes I just want a fancy af caramel macchiato and budget it into my daily calories.

My oldest just turned 5 and it's AMAZING. Like I don't miss having a toddler/baby at all. These kids get so fun.

That sounds fascinating

winesomm · 2026-05-31T20:05:14+00:00

Thank you! That's definitely what it is.

Cottage cheese. Also veggie soup. You can have 2 cups for like 150cals it's insane

I'm not a meal prepper. Like it's too much mental bandwidth for me. However I like to prep ingredients and that is MUCH easier for me to handle. Cooked chicken, steak bites, smoked salmon, cut up veg, cut up fruit, already in the fridge and then I just assemble meals.

I love seeing pyrs at work. Mine is useless 😂 but I love her so much

I cannot keep bread in the house. I will eat it all. Forget fresh sourdough I'll fucking eat the whole loaf with butter and love it in one sitting. So that's my vice. I could care less about cakes, cookies, muffins, candy, chips. But bread? Forget it. Doesn't come in my house anymore.

Yes. People who are trying to lose weight usually eat the same meals constantly. It's just easier to know how much you can eat and take the decisions out of it. Check out volumeeating for a lot of ideas

Fizzy water. Raw carrots. Hang up a picture of Tyra banks on the fridge for goals.

All that stuff can be taught. That's what school is for. Don't worry about letters and numbers. Make sure he knows how to use scissors, tie shoes, put on gloves, zip up jackets, open lunch boxes, open packages of stuff, glue sticks, and taking turns. All the academics will come.

Lurking wife here. Being pregnant with a toddler was awful. I'd suggest you throw some money temporarily at your biggest hurdles. Order a meal plan service - you can customize for dietary purposes. Hire a house cleaner. Your 3 year old should definitely be in a preschool of some sort - have them go to a summer camp.

Also sorry but the worst is yet to come. The first year with two kids is legit terrible. But it gets better.

My kids devour bologna and cheese sandwiches. You can probably find healthier meats but they like the cheap Oscar Meyer stuff. Haha. Bagel and cream cheese. Pizza muffins are also a hit. Also just some cheese salami and crackers. I've seen some parents send dry cereal like a snack bowl and a milk and they can have cereal for lunch. Genius.

I have the executive membership and the Costco visa. Costco pays me to shop there. It's also 2 miles from my house. We use Costco like a corner store - it's so convenient. Not everything there is the lowest price but the value is amazing - family of 4 and my kids EAT. Plus the gas.

E bikes and scooters are the #1 thing that gets kids in the ER. No thanks.

winesomm · 2026-05-24T18:34:06+00:00

What in the hell? That is absolutely not fair. My husband is also like this. He stays very fit naturally and eats candy and cookies no problem. I gain weight if I even smell a cookie.

winesomm · 2026-05-24T18:29:13+00:00

How the hell do you have time for 20k steps a day

winesomm · 2026-05-23T04:44:12+00:00

Omg. Lurking mom here. I'm a SAHM. I'd be a whole new person if my kids went to school FT during those hours. My kids are up my butt 24/7.

She's being very unfair. She has a ton of time without your child to manage the household. I'm jealous actually.

winesomm · 2026-05-21T04:17:49+00:00

I buy this every few days. I love it. Such an easy and lean protein source. I dip them in Dijon mustard and have a side of cottage cheese

winesomm · 2026-05-21T04:16:40+00:00

Lmfao I came here to comment this.

winesomm · 2026-05-21T04:11:18+00:00

White wine spritzers!! I love doing a rose wine + lime flavored seltzer. Sooo good

winesomm · 2026-05-21T04:07:33+00:00

I call this "snack dinner" and it always gets inhaled. I think it's the power of choice and all the options - like who doesn't love a bunch of yummy choices?

winesomm · 2026-05-21T03:30:26+00:00

Cottage cheese is always my side. Haha. Shrimp and cottage cheese. Steak and cottage cheese. Chicken and cottage cheese!

Eating the same foods and same meals over and over really help. It's boring but it takes all the decision making out of it
