Yeah, it actually saves time to eat less, ffs. My kids didn't make me gain weight when I gained weight, it was the huge desserts my husband and I were eating; and when I lost the weight, my kids were not remotely an obstacle to that--they actually helped, because for a while I had to walk one to school and back every day, uphill both ways (seriously, lol; I had to go over a large steep hill to get there, so it was always up one side, down the other), and that was about a mile a day total. If you're fat because you're "just so busy with the kids," then you're not really busy with the kids, you're just eating to keep them quiet/amused/whatever. Fast food is not an excuse to be fat; you can eat fast food every day and still not be fat. Not having time to cook is not an excuse to be fat. Quit blaming your own bad habits on your children.
