[QUOTE="ML, post: 398524"] I feel your frustration. That impulse control seems to respond to nothing. It is so hard to keep parenting and doing everything humanly possible to give him the best chances for a successful life and nothing seems to work. At this point, he has to have a buy in with the diet. You can keep the forbidden foods to a minimum but unless he's on board that too is just a losing battle. I sort of get that because of manster's food addictions. I guess with that too it's about impulse control. We saw a tv show about a teenager that weighed like 500 pounds and he said "I hope I don't get like that" and for the rest of the day every time he went into the kitchen looking for food I asked him "do you want to wind up like that kid" and he would drop the goods. But if I'm not there the goods don't get dropped and I can't always be there and boy it gets tiring. Hang in there, Terry. You really are doing a great job and I am in awe of what a dedicated warrior mom you are. Hoping for good things in 11. [/QUOTE]
