help me make it through the KIDS lunch!!!

[Sheena23]

I'm having my first major craving, and it's taking everything I have not to eat it. I made the kids kraft dinner for lunch and it's driving me batty. My chicken is still in the oven cooking. What do you guys do when your kids are having carbs and you are not. Does it stop bugging you. I love kraft dinner and didn't think it would be a problem, but I can say this I'm not buying it again if this is what happens every time I make it. What do you other moms do for your kids and about lunch?

I eat first - sometimes grabbing something on the way home so that their dinner doesn't look so wonderful. Kraft mac and cheese is a particularly hard one. Having a faux version of their meal helps too. When they are waiting for their dinner I put out raw veggies (sugar snap peas, baby carrots, broccoli or celery with blue cheese dip). It helps them be patient and it's something I can munch too.
