How often do you have pudding?

    Only when I go out to eat, I don't have them in the house. Occasionally my sister makes a cake but that's not so often and its usually a snack rather than a dessert

    Rarely. I've found on the odd occasion that I make a crumble or a rice pudding, nobody wants any.

    A belly only holds so much - and if you have "afters" then that's two sets of meals you have to think of and make and wash up after ... but it's not like your belly holds more when you have it, you have to eat less of your main meal for it to fit.

    That reminds me of when DS2 was small. If we went out for a meal, he'd often leave some of the main course but still want pudding. When I asked him how he had room for pudding if he didn't have room for all the dinner, his reply was that he had 2 tummies. A dinner tummy and a pudding tummy. His dinner tummy was full, but not his pudding tummy! :rotfl:

    Personally I'd go for a starter quicker than a sweet. Usually don't have room for a dessert to be honest!! lol :) Cuppa tea and a biscuit if we're feeling the need for something sweet. That's obviously not counting all the junk food being eaten when we're watching dvd's ;)

    Very rarely, but having the oven on anyway and wanting to make sure the children were full up as there were only small portions of main course, I made one. I don't think more than a couple of teaspoons were eaten except by me so I won't be doing that again.

    It used to be more often, but I now limit myself to once a week. And then it's usually a yoghurt, or just a few squares of chocolate - sometimes and ice lolly or ice cream if it's hot.

    OH has a sweet tooth that is hard to curb though, so he regularly has any of the above. The last 2 nights he's had a mini magnum ice cream (and he wonders why I bought the mini ones!), and the night before that, he polished off the choc in the fridge. Keep trying to get him to reach for the fruit instead, but I'm not winning that battle. He is though, a lot better than he used to be.

    If I find that I am still hungry after a meal, then I reach for fruit. More filling, and healthier than snacks :)

    We have either a starter like home made soup or a pudding but usually only something like jelly or fruit and yogurt most days. Only do "proper" puddings now and again.
