You know you aren't supposed to lose too much weight too fast. Just hang in there...you'll do fine! Oh, and I know it's hard to do with little ones, but have you ever considered a weekly menu plan instead of doing it every day? You shop for everything you need in one trip. When you wake up on Tuesday and say, "ah-ha, we're having spaghetti tonight!" you'll feel much better and that will be one burden off your shoulders. Keep your menus simple. In fact, you might try assigning a main course to each day--ground beef Monday (like tacos or spaghetti), chicken Tuesday, pasta Wednesday--see where I'm going? <BR/>And did the little guy catch his squirrel? I have a 'pet' squirrel who will come when I call her...but only because I feed her peanuts, LOL!Mom2furhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1155140600515530172006-08-09T11:23:00.000-05:002006-08-09T11:23:00.000-05:00"Only" two pounds?!

My big one is eating my son's food--both his leftovers, and serving myself the high-fat, high-calorie foodstuffs that an underweight toddler needs and a chunky mama doesn't! It started out when he was very uninterested in food (due to allergies and reflux as it turns out) but would take some interest if it came from my plate...a year later it is a hard habit to break.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1155097005610813462006-08-08T23:16:00.000-05:002006-08-08T23:16:00.000-05:00This story, the "lego traction" story and the "10 ...This story, the "lego traction" story and the "10 chicken-nugget" story. . . your kid cracks me up!<BR/>This boy will keep you on your toes.
