I caught my husband telling my daughter, "you can't eat more fruits or veggies until you finish your hot dog." I had to ask him what health benefit there was in that. Old 1970s parenting like "finish what's on your plate, there are starving children in China" is hard to replace with "stop eating when you are full." HURRAY Ellen!

Someone might as well be giving my kid LSD if they are giving her something to eat. It's simply not an issue because she knows what she can eat, and if there is any question as to whether or not it's safe, it's a no go. I've found the biggest challenge is portion control. Knowing that you get what constitutes a regular serving, and that's it has been hard. Telling the kid that she cannot have any more rice, but feel free to load up on the salad wasn't easy, but she's surviving. She's also out of the red zone, BMI wise, and reading as normal. So hurrah for that! <abbr><em>Ellen G’s last blog post..<a href="http://trueconfessions.wordpress.com/2009/02/22/oscar-night/" rel="nofollow">Oscar Night</a></abbr></em> This is one area where it helps to have a food allergy in the family.

What's most important to some girls is different than what's most important to others. It depends on which issue the girl or family is facing at this moment. Right now, a large percentage of the country is facing a weight issue. Hopefully you'll come back in the future when we're discussing some of the other issues that interest you more.
