[QUOTE="loricbme, post: 62560, member: 2036"] Another problem is that she will sneak food. Sometimes I catch her in the act and sometimes I don't. If I hear a wrapper crinkling I will say, "difficult child, what are you doing?" I will find wrappers, popsicle sticks etc, under my sofa! I should also add, that she only gets sugar free popsicles, low fat ice cream, and the only reason she ever gets gatorade is when we're golfing and it is terribly hot. She only gets the small bottles too. We try to make sure she stays hydrated. We do not keep juice in our house because she will devour it very quickly. I keep sugar free kool aid or lemonade at all times. And because she is argumentative she will argue about food too! The typical snacks I allow are fresh fruit, ff yogurt, kashi granola bar. She is not a picky eater and will try anything. I talk to her about making good, healthy choices and being strong and healthy, never about being skinny/fat. It just amazes me how much she can/will eat. Last night after golfing (we got home around 6:30-7:00) I made dinner with pork chops, corn on cob, tomatoes, lowfat cottage cheese. Maybe an hour after dinner she comes walking in our family room with two slices of bread. I told her to put them away because she just ate a good dinner. She said, "but I already took a bite out of them" I told her that it wasn't a problem and to throw them away. I feel like I have to be her "full stomach" trigger. I know there is no possible way she can be hungry. We also take daily walks, about 1 1/2 miles. This helps somewhat with her not getting any bigger. I really do try. Just one more thing to perplex me! Anyway, thanks for your help BLB. [/QUOTE]
