[QUOTE="ryzgal, post: 372087"] thanks to you all, as always you provide wonderful words of wisdom :happy: we've been cutting out the bad foods lately since I am prediabetic, but still do have the nasty little foods around the house! I don't eat after 7 pm anyway, so it wouldn't bother me to have a rule that no one eats that late. nor would it bother me, to have only healthy foods avail after a certain time because i love fruits and veggies, roast chicken etc. The problem is mine and mine alone and that is good old fashioned guilt. I have let my kids (mostly my son, difficult child 1) eat what they want since they were little (because of massive trauma to me as a child that had to do with food--long story, but I swore I would NEVER force my kids to eat foods they didn't like) and I feel awful changing that so drastically now. Don't get me wrong. I've made baby steps. Cutting down on candy, fried foods, eating out, sugary foods etc. But I still don't force veggies or new foods. Add to that a kid with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and a texture issue who still likes what I call toddler foods (chicken nuggets, mac and cheese etc)---wait, that sounds like a whole lot of excuses doesn't it. :blushing: so, I need to process this in my own head for a bit. oh, and regarding it being like a ravenous animal--I laughed out loud. He was never a big eater. always a light, picky eater my boy. But within the last year or so, it WAS like a wild animal showed up!! LOL He will eat a whole loaf of bread scarfed down with a gallon of milk. JUST BREAD not a sandwich! and it has to be RIGHT NOW...:funny: I don't mind that he gets hungry, ravenous even! it's the sneaking it in the middle of the night, the waiting til we go to bed to come get it. I have made extra dinner numerous times for him. He says he doesn't want "dinner". He wants bread, cookies, cereal (aka starchy carbs) hmmmm...I'm rambling again... Off with me thinks for a bit Appreciate the support and opinions group Hugs [/QUOTE]
