[QUOTE="totoro, post: 255338, member: 3155"] Bleeech. Sorry she is not doing so well. Or still not doing so well. With K, because most of her food issues are due to medications, I do not eat something I will not let her have in front of her. But then again we all eat the same things in this house. I try to model what I want the kids to eat. I go by the rule of If I ask that you eat something or are not allowed something then it should be a house rule for all of us. This is only for food. Obviously alcohol does not apply. I look at it as, I eat healthy, I want my girls to eat healthy. I eat snacks at times, so should they. I don't gorge on junk food, so neither should they. I bake almost all of our snacks. Chips etc. are ones that we all get a few of. Period! Some nights, I say no to dessert for the girls. Mostly due to K's weight gain, so if husband and I were going to have a bowl of ice cream or something, we would have it after they went to bed. We also would have the same ice cream, a light vanilla. I know some do not agree with this. But this seems to work for us and we all respect food and have never had a problem yet and never had a fight over food. K may want more, but we explain that we all need to eat less and we are all working on it. The whole family. I agree she may also have some anxiety still over the move. Plus time change. Longer days. So many possibilities... I am so sorry you have to struggle with all of this. I wish you could have break. [/QUOTE]
