[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 124817, member: 393"] [B][FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium]kt & wm have always had eating issues from the day of placement. It took us years to get them off the junk food/MacDonald's diet mentality. Adding in certain medications certainly didn't help the situation; nor did special education where everything was rewarded - many times with a snack or candy. Saying that, we've been working hard with kt (the difficult child with the budding eating disorder) on healthy choices. She helps make up the weekly menu; is loving reading of late so pages through recipe books with me looking for dinner ideas or snack ideas. kt isn't big on apples, however I get the non-fat fruit dip & portion out the amount on the label. She makes it work for an entire apple. Sugared cereals sometimes end up having less sugar in them after you let a difficult child get to the sugar bowl. I am not adverse to having sugared cereals that have 11 grams or less of sugar in the house (per dietician we consulted with for kt). Sometimes for a treat I'll pick up an ultra sugary cereal but will mix it with it's non sugar counterpart. Say fruit loops; I'll mix fruit 1/3 fruit loops with 2/3 cheerios & that works for kt. I found a website that kt & her PCA visit on a semi regular basis - [URL]http://www.youngwomenshealth.org[/URL] [url]http://www.youngwomenshealth.org/healthy_snack_attack.html[/url] kt has been fascinated by a great deal of this website (again with adult supervision here) but loves the healthy eating stuff. We've taken to making hummus Just a couple of thoughts for you. This is hard. Your difficult child must be involved & invested in herself. AND you have the giants hand - you bring the food in the house. [/FONT][/B] [/QUOTE]
