649848 tn?1534633700 I totally agree & have been a lot stricter on my kids than myself up until I decided to lose the weight. It doesn't mean they want the bad stuff any less, but around here it is a treat not the norm & always in small amounts. The biggest problem I have had with the kids eating bad stuff is with the grandparents. No offense to any grandparents on here, but my kids' GPs think that pizza, lunchables, junk food cereal, ice cream, & candy are fine because that's what they want.
Avatar f tn Well, as a mom of a sensory kid myself, I will tell you that some of the things that come naturally to some kids do not come naturally to other kids. And sharing is part of being a good friend and social interaction. Sensory kids don't handle things the way other "typical" kids do. I would never force the subject while out and in public. That will lead to a meltdown and at 6----- your goal is to have your child blend in for self esteem issues rather than stand out.

Avatar m tn We have a preschooler who threatens to kill, burn, etc, hurts other kids, hit, spits, bites, head butts, and will stick sharp objects up at other kids threatening to kill them with it. I have asked if he knows what Kill means and he responds with: stop breathing, i wont see you ever again, etc so he knows 100 % what hes talking about. I do not have the training for this and have asked for those days off that i feel like im in danger.
Avatar n tn I don't know what kind of carbs she's eating but if it's mostly junk food and sweets the solution is simple - keep it out of the house. Stock the fridge and pantry with healthy food and use junk food as a treat when you're out. Even if the treat is every day which I almost think you will need to do.

2020005 tn?1628125976 I can do great exercising, I really push myself to get it done, my down fall is seriously eating healthy. I can eat healthy all day long, then at the end of the day cave completely. I can't let myself ignore my hunger breastfeeding or my supply will completely diminish. I've been eating a good breakfast, good lunch, a snack between lunch and dinner, and then dinner, and a snack later on. I'm having SUCH a hard time eating healthily.
Avatar f tn I try to eat healthy snacks during the day so I can have dessert at night. Key word is try. I have a massive sweet tooth.
Avatar n tn Look up "the full plate diet" it's really NOT a diet, but healthy eating. That's what I do, all it is, is a high fiber diet eating lots of whole grains (brown rice, wheat bread, oatmeal) fruits, vegetables and water.
9310208 tn?1410859285 I used to eat healthy before I got pregnant but ever since I've gotten pregnant the sight of fruits and veggies make me so sick feeling. Any advice on how to eat better?
Avatar f tn Eating healthy is next to impossible for me. Saying to the fact that I'm 4'11 and post pregnancy I was 103. I ate like I had a bottomless pit. Now that I'm pregnant I find it hard to change eating habits and it's worse because I'm hungry every hour. I'm trying , but good lord it's hard !
7703407 tn?1396588513 I'm not sure but has to be better than actual soda with caffeine and sugar. She will only let me have Sprite or Sierra Mist and not as much as used to. I'm actually shocked that I didn't have caffeine withdrawals like I did last time I tried to stop drinking soda. At least it makes the doctor happy to know I'm "willing" eating healthy. Lol.
Avatar f tn I am normally a very healthy person eating all natural no processed food. But since I got pregnant I don't want anything to do with vegetables or fruit. I want salty food and processed food, like pizza rolls and McDonald's. Anyone else doing this?
Avatar f tn Is anyone trying a special diet? I'm asking because ever since I became pregnant, I've started to dislike a lot of foods that I normally would eat. To name a few, Eating beef, pork, and fried chicken makes me nauseous. I was thinking of trying a Carribean Diet during this pregnancy. I'm curious to know if anyone else is trying a diet.
Avatar f tn Anyone else having problems eating healthy??
Avatar f tn Is there any mom to be'sbe's who aren't eating healthy? Im 29 weeks pregnant and i just eat whatever i feel like eating, is that bad or should my baby be fine. Doctor said he's growing good.
Avatar f tn As usual, I will suggest you don't look at the website above -- Atkins has been proven not to work and to not be healthy. There are many better options. And just to be clear, you're not on a no-carb diet -- vegetables and fruits and beans also contain carbs. I assume what you mean is you're not eating simple carbs, or I hope that's what you mean. Being too austere in your diet can be a problem, especially if you're diet is unbalanced.
Avatar f tn Eating healthy is like the hardest thing for me to do right now. I want to devour everything and anything, how can I start and make myself eat more healthy?
Avatar n tn Does anyone else have a hard time eating healthy? I am 8 weeks + 3 days and meat and vegetables sound so gross! I know I need the protein and nutrients but all I want are mashed potatoes and French fries.
Avatar n tn This may be a really silly question, but what are/were your favorite meals to eat while pregnant? I'm having a difficult time planning healthy lunches and dinners that have some variety (I can only eat so much grilled chicken). This is my first pregnancy and I am only six weeks along. I'm worrying I am not eating as healthy as I should be. I'm constantly hungry and looking for some good recommendations.
4965377 tn?1368754511 It may be worth talking to your doctor or a nutritionist. There are valuable vitamins, minerals and nutrients found in each of the food catergories that are important for a growing baby. They can help you substitute nutritious foods in place of the ones you don't want to eat for you to get enough nutrition.
