[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 459183, member: 11791"] Oh, Lisa. You're caught in the chicken-and-egg problem. Not enough time to get everything switched around. Everything else going wrong on top of it making it so... you can't get time to switch stuff around. Sneaking food... play with this one... tricks that work with overeating difficult children... like: an oversized lunch-box, or two depending on what you're putting in. YOU pack into that the day's worth of snacks. You've calculated it out of his caloric intake... this is part of his veggies, carbs, etc. One lunch-box cooler has an ice-pack - to keep fresh veggies cold, for example. The other might have some popcorn or whatever. He can eat it fast, he can eat it slow, he can eat it all or only half of it. But the FRIDGE and PANTRY are off-limits. If he doesn't like the stuff in there, he has to negotiate for what you put in tomorrow. (but I don't LIKE cucumbers... ok fiine you can have carrots). Set him up with this stuff so he [U]doesn't have to move[/U]. Make it easy for him (for now). Later, you can put it half-way to the kitchen, and get him to stretch his legs - put it in a spot where he can't sit down beside it and eat there... Hang in there, Lisa. Its a tough transition for ALL of you. [/QUOTE]
