I emphasize this to my kids al lthe time. I come home from a run and eat fruit, pretzels, graham crackers, etc. This is usually around 4-5pm - about an hour before dinner. They naturally want what I'm having and I remind them: "I just ran a bunch of miles. How many miles have you run today?" I remind them that food is a tool foremost, not a hobby. I like dessert, sure. But I only ever eat dessert when I am still hungry after dinner, which happens sometimes to me on long run days. I make sure to frequently reject dessert in front of them. Sometimes I say, "I want some ice cream, but I haven't really done enough today to deserve ice cream." I try not to moralize specific foods in front of them. I just want to teach them that you need to earn every calorie you eat or else you become a fat ass.

My thin shitlord sister kind of believes this jazz too. She's been telling me since I was like 14 to "wait until your older, you'll put on the pounds". Now I', 25 y/o height 5'11.5" B/W 157 Lbs, dropped from 175 in the past 2 months.
And I'm still a lazy fuck most of the time, I just don't overeat, or if I do i compensate for it. Hell I'm losing weight while drinking 2L of milk per day.

That's a lot of fuckin milk, dude. Like 800 kcal worth of milk.

Idk man, nothing quenches my thirst like milk does. I'm the opposite of Ron Burgundy - milk in the summer is my shit.
