Food, Kids and 1800 Calorie Diet
May 31, 2009
Nut has me on 1800 calorie diet. I can't seem to force myself to eat that much during the day. As crazy as that sounds, right? How come I have all this fat on me if I didn't eat more than I needed. No way, unless I drive down to the DQ after dinner to fill out the rest of my calories. I'm following the map for the kinds of food she has given me but it's still not working. Most I can get is 1400 in a day so far. I guess I should eat more in my snacks.My son has Asperger's Syndrome. He eats very little and only what he wants and when he wants. I've been watching an exchange on FB today by one of my friends who did not want her daughter to eat a popsicle for breakfast. One mom on there said "I would win that battle. It prepares them to win the war when they move out." Good grief, we take ourselves very seriously don't we? If I had to fight that battle everyday with all the other battles I fight about education and hygenie, I would never get anything else done. My son eats what he wants to eat and that's that. It is more difficult for my DH to understand than for me. We just make sure we have that food in the house for him. If we don't, he will not eat any thing else.period. It's his Aspergers. I accept it. Which brings me to the fact we were talking about his birthday party in which he will be 10. I'm thinking cake, water bottles, carrot chips, goldfish, apples, grapes and graham crackers. That's what he likes. Why would I spend money on something for HIS birthday that he won't eat anyway? Others may think it's weird but it is his party. He goes to their parties and they don't have what he will eat. So there you go.
Guess I'm a little pissy with all this food sitting in my gut.
