[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 78959, member: 1550"] Hi and thanks. It's hard to get Lucas to exercise. We have to literally force the issue and he only does half an effort. He also has so many food sensitivities that he refuses to eat rather than eat things he doesn't like, which is almost everything!!!! Mashed cauliflower wouldn't work with him. Not only does he hate the texture and feel of mashed potatoes, but you can't fool him. He even knows a diet soda from a sugary one with the label removed. Today he is pouting and saying to himself, "I a stupid FAT person." I feel so bad. He wanted his favorite Flaming Hot Cheetos and when he realized I wouldn't buy them he started to cry and mumble about how he is an idiot. He went to his room and I can still hear him mumbling. The autism confuses things. Even though I tell him I'm doing it for his health, he doesn't seem to care. Lucas is joining Special Olympics soon. He'll be doing crosscountry skiing and snow-somthing lol. He is able to participate in regular soccer and usually does, and could be on the swim team, but he won't do it--truly hates it. It's VERY hard practice and he always comes in with the highest times, which makes him feel bad. I was pretty much told it will shorten his life if he doesn't lower his body fat, and that spurred me. But I also don't want him to be so depressed and down on himself. [/QUOTE]
