Holly - I'm not even going to read that recipe, let alone copy it! That was EVIL of you to post it
Sorry! I won't tell you how good it is when I try it. 
Just think of the cruise and how happy we all were. That gets me through some bad days.
I eliminated all fast food (except for Subway every Monday), no sweets (except one piece of candy a day if he asks, from his leftover Christmas candy) and stopped giving him more food when he'd ask. He doesn't ask anymore, because I just kept telling him he's not hungry, it's just the Risperdal making him think he's hungry. He's fine with it because he's gotten used to normal child-size portions and healthy foods. The problem is with his dad. They have fast food every day he's over there and he lets him eat those awfully fattening breakfast sandwiches (biscuit with sausage, egg and cheese) and usually TWO of them.Too bad he had such a hard time on the Adderall. Most kids can't gain weight on it. What are they having you do to control his weight? I can't imagine my kids not being able to eat as much as they want. I never force them to eat and if they want more, I give it to them. There is a lot of times that Brooke will go to bed only eating a couple of bites but she's never starving when she gets up. Not to mention she isn't too thin. I think they are hungrier on some days and less hungry on other days, just like us. I hated that my mom forced me to eat. She used to yell at me when we went to buffets and I stopped eating when I was fullI'm really lucky because both of my kids will eat veggies and fruit. Ethan won't eat salad and Brooke won't eat asparagus but other than that they both eat a lot of veggies. Brooke is picky about other things like meat and eggs. She'll only eat what she calls "good meat". Which is steak. She wouldn't touch hamburger.
He buys him candy whenever they go to the store and they have sweets for dessert every night. Just unhealthy stuff. I've been after his dad about it, but he tells me he just doesn't have time to do anything but drive-through after work. yeah, whatever. He's just not willing to go the extra mile to help his kid be healthy. 
The research I did before buying said that burn in on a plasma will only be likely to happen if you keep a game or video paused for an extended time, like maybe an hour. We do that a lot, but my DVD player shuts itself off after about 15 minutes of being paused, fortunately.
Yeah, I was wondering what happened with that too.Deborah - is work any better since the RIND person came in? (I think those were the initials)

Hi V.............and
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HALEY
SHORTS when it is 60
Nope, he chose me. 
He just doesn't want to limit Tyler's choices. He tells me he lets Tyler eat anything he wants, as much as he wants. The only thing I can do is continue to teach Tyler about healthy choices and hope he ends up making good choices everywhere he goes.Can't he help Tyler make better choices from the fast food menus? Also, re: the breakfast sandwiches & the candy/desserts - what's his excuse for those? Is he telling you that his house has a drive thru???
Way to go! I must warn you, you will hate it. Well, no surprise there, from my comments all along!
But I find I can sometimes distract myself by listening to everything she's saying because it all makes sense. Good luck! I feel guilty for skipping a day yesterday, but I'm determined to get back to it today!
