[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 14904, member: 3353"] No, you don't stop trying to help your son. How long ago did he reach the triglyceride/weight plateau? If difficult children physician refuses to address the issue further, is there a specialist you can see? difficult child does need to do his part, Fran ~ but the progress you are describing was more about medications than exercise. Is there any way you could make the treadmill or exercise equipment more user friendly? Could you program in something about "Well done, difficult child!" after ten minutes of use or something like that? It must be hard for difficult child to face that treadmill, and to have so much emphasis placed on his weight and triglyceride levels ~ something he must feel is almost impossible to control. Pretty scary. And difficult child mentioned anger when describing motivation. So you are why he does whatever exercise he does. What other things could you think of to make exercise less frigtening and more immediately rewarding for difficult child? Maybe Tai Chi? Barbara [/QUOTE]
