[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 331727, member: 3444"] Thanks everyone :) He made his own lunch today -- consisted of a pb sandwich and that's it. :( He said he didn't feel good this morning when I woke him up (that's another self-care issue we'll tackle another day). I pointed out the bags and boxes of snack foods on the floor by his bed and said that maybe that had something to do with it. Then I asked him what he planned to do. Then after a little moaning and grumbling, he got up. He was running late already. Got dressed, took his medications, put his patch on, made the sandwich. Then I mentioned that he hadn't eaten anything yet for breakfast -- he growled that he didn't have time. So I suggested he take one of the giant Costco muffins we have -- which he did and put in a sandwich bag. We get in the car and he just closes his eyes and wants to sleep, complains he's sore and tired from lacrosse and having to get up for zero period 4 out of the five days this week (one of them was extra for missing homework). I remind him that he has time to take a few bites of the muffin so that he doesn't feel like crud ALL morning. And I said that he probably also wouldn't feel so exhausted if he ate more food during the day. So he grumbles and takes a few bites by the time we get to the school. I pick him up in about an hour before taking him to lacrosse at 2:30. I'm toying with the idea of making him a tuna sandwich so he doesn't collapse at practice :) I'll wager he ate only half the sandwich he made this morning and probably none of the muffin. He sure seems to be one of the learn-it-the-hard-way types the older he gets. It's a shame, because he'd suffer a lot less if he'd just listen to a few of the adults in his life. [/QUOTE]
