[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 202665, member: 84"] K always had issues with her weight. She used food as comfort too, didn't get enough excercise, and bioMom leaned more toward junk food. I never did anything drastic. (usually because it just makes the food more appealling being forbidden) And she always returned to a healthy weight the summers she stayed with us. All I did was limit tv/video game time. Require a certain amount of outside time and encouraged biking, playing tag ect. When they get bored enough these things start looking fun. lol We had very little junky food in the house. Popcicles and popcorn were the main "junk" food. A popcicle only has 20 calories, and popcorn not loaded down with butter is healthy. And in those days eating out was a treat. So K lost weight just do to increased excercise and a healthier diet. She still got snacks and plenty to eat, it was just monitored better. (bioMom would let her eat a whole box of ice cream at one sitting instead of one serving) One summer she went down 2 clothing sizes and we had to go out and buy her new clothes. The trampoline is a great fun way to get excercise. :D [/QUOTE]
