Her mother was afraid she would "starve," so she would allow her to eat just the same junk food over and over. (Your daughter's list sounds kind of like my friend's.)<BR/><BR/>Well, thanks to her mom's indulgence, my friend did not starve. However, now that she is an adult, she struggles with weight control, she has not learned to be polite to others regarding the food they are eating/serving (she's not afraid to say "Sick!" or "Yuck!" about what is on my plate!) and she has multiple health problems that are probably diet-related.<BR/><BR/>And guess what. All those foods that her mom was afraid to give her? She chooses them on her own now. If only her mom had been a *little* more persistent while she was still young!<BR/><BR/>My point is this: hang in there, and keep being firm with your daughter. It will pay off! :)Miss Juliannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689018007696041482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722038702437456617.post-2933613443831381762007-12-05T13:16:00.000-08:002007-12-05T13:16:00.000-08:00My daughter eats almost the same things. If I didn...My daughter eats almost the same things. If I didn't push the issue, she wouldn't eat meat. We insist on about 3-4 bites of meat at a meal.<BR/> <BR/>Our pediatrician only gets concerned if a child's weight falls off the growth chart. Daughter's did one time and we bumped her up to full fat milk for awhile. She's 7 and weighs just over 40 lbs.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073876728664414155noreply@blogger.com
