[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 331702, member: 1233"] I had serious weight problems as a child. As a baby it was projectile vomiting (I once got a cousin who came to meet me from 20 feet away. My dad measured because he thought it was a riot.) As a kid I was either not hungry and eating 2 peas for dinner or I was starving and ate everything in site. I graduated high school at five feet tall and 79 pounds. It is painful to be that thin. My body did not register or receive hunger signals. The endocrinologists never figured out why. Has he been checked out by an endocrinologist to see if it is him or the medications that cause this? It wouldn't help the lying but it would rule out a number of problems. For the lying you need to decide what basket it is on. Maybe give him a fine for tossing his lunch (the cost of the materials at LEAST) and game time or other books or even cash. depends on what motivates him best. If you do that you will need to be super vigilant because he will toss it at school or almost anywhere. You will have to be as consistent as you can possible be. Or you can decide to ignore it. Then you will get cheaper stuff for lunches and just ignore his mood when he goes to school. It will put the responsibility on HIS shoulders. Won't be easy but it IS doable. Maybe tie his next day's money to whether he ate today. If he skips breakfast and lunch then he gets less money. If he is grouchy and cranky because he didn't eat, well, that is his problem and will result in less of his money. I hope you can find a solution soon. [/QUOTE]
