It's working.

---

A while back I got all discombobulated over the schedule with the boy. I was afraid that if he was at his mothers/grandmothers as much as the court ordered, all my efforts would be fruitless.

Well, guess what! The double chin is disappearing! I have only had him in my house for about a month and a half. He eats what is put in front of him, and is glad to have it. We are starting to have some treats around again, but those are doled out accordingly. 1 cookie for desert, not the whole box, bag or even handful.

My man, seeing the results, is going to start walking with me, YAY...Kid free time. Loving that! So, it is only 3 miles round trip to the mailbox, but, it's 3 more miles a day that we didn't do.

Just thought I would let everyone know, part time effort IS better than NO effort.

True dat girl.

That's Awesome!!!! Glad to hear things are going well!! hug

Great to hear that! It's especially good when your efforts show visible results.

*claps*

LOL, was talking to my man about it last night...Apparently he weighs more now. Guessing it is muscle and a bit of height. I gotta throw him on the scale at the recyclers. He got on his mom's bathroom scale, so, who knows.I tell ya, this business is tough! *bit of a giggle. I cooked talapia last night with a yogurt batter.(by the way, it was suprisingly good!) My 10yr old told him it was pork chops. So he gobbled it up.Later I asked him if he liked it, and he said "ya it was yummy!" and licked his lips. Then says "but it looked a little like fish"....Jaw hit the floor when I told him it was fish...

one cookie?holy fuck Im glad Im nto with you, cookies are the bestest thing ever!the only thing I like more than a cookie is nookie.cookies are one of hte greatest things ever invented and I have shitloads of them in teh house all the time.chocolate chip cookies made from penut butter cookie dough, oh fucking god, i think I just came a little thinking about them.

I recall seeing it, I never tried it out though, fuck Im thinking some cookies sound good though, I think I may make a trip to the store for some supplies nad bake a batch, yes I can fucking cook and bake! in fact 80% of whats cooked na baked in our house is made by me, and its fucking delicous, Im a hell of a betty crocker.

LOL Chance, it's about the kid. My man can eat what ever he wants. He has his stash pile...Also, my little guy is NOT nearly as active as my girls, hell, he gets breathing hard (has the school convinced he is having asthma attacks) just walking the 50 yards to the bus from his classroom after school! It is INSANE, what I am doing, but it is working. Thank god too! He is 8 yrs old, and if our house were on fire, none of us could haul him out. He weighs almost as much as my 14 yr old!! And a lot more than my 10 yr old.The trips to the pond are slow, but good, and walking home from the bus, again slow, but all up hill. He REALLY needed a drastic change in his diet, along with more activity. Besides, he loved the "pork chops"...lol And the ones my crew cooked last night were THE BOMB, good ol soupy chops, loaded with sodium and fat! Mashed taters and the gravy that the chops simmered in. Just like the good ol days...

so long as there is no nuts! the rst of the stuff Im fine with, I jsut hate nuts, not sur whyI used to eat walnuts, pistachios, peanuts all that shit, one day several years ago my tastes changed and I cant stand the bastards, but I do eat mroe veggies now than I did then, Ilsot the taste for nuts but gained one for some greens.

Well, for Thanksgiving, all the family who hasn't seen the little rolly guy for a while thinks he looks great!I just wish he wasn't such a mean/whiny one too!!!So, I ruined pumkin and bean pie for him. Unless you are told, no one can tell the difference. One day, he said he wanted to put his poop in someones food and see if they liked it. I told him it was gross, and he continued on, when I told him I didn't want to hear about it anymore, he waited until he thought I was out of earshot. Describing how he would get the poop, and what he would do.... Uhem...the shithead in me kicked in. Guess who found a little tootsie roll in his pie....Ooops...

HELL NO! I am trying to get him to eat MORE salad!

Could be fun to bake into a brownie or something though...lol

The pie was a small sacrifice. He can associate crap with crap food all he wants.

On a side note, I used to have a VERY REAL looking cat turd pile, my littlest one loved to teethe on it. Old ladies in the grocery store would turn a lovely shade of green...
