I know you are not telling me what to do and I am grateful for the advise,,,we all need to be better informed,,,,,,,, she wont drink regualr full cream milk now,,,,, from when she was little and started on cows milk and not breast milk,,,well,,,the doctors told me that she was a little `tubby` and so i was best to introduce a low fat milk like `skim` now (they said its as high in calcium for her) So guess what? I took their advice and now thats all she will drink ( remember 6 years ago it was all about the fat!)
I dont know what I can do for her,,,,, normal menu for her is breakfast is weetbix with skim milk and glass of juice,,,,,, lunch is sandwich or a salad box i make,,, a yoghurt and maybe either an apple or cheese cut up (they have 2 meals at school remember) and a popper drink and dinner is what i eat,,,,,,, rarely do i make her potatos...... usually she has pasta and meat or meat and vegies (you know a good meal),,,glass of skim milk
Treats,,,,, she has ice cream once a week,,,, usually sugar free jelly,,,, on wednesdays she has a wagon wheel (you know the chocolate bar) after her swimming lessons,,,,,, and maybe take away like mcdonalds once maybe every couple of weeks or so...........
We do not have chocolate in the house,,,or chips or lollies,,,,,, and she is not really into those anyway.....
she is 6 and a half and weighs 33 kilo last check.......
BTW- she does swimming, indoor soccer and karate every week,,,,,,,, I keep her active.....
I dont know,,am i missing something and doing something wrong??? I dont make a fuss to her about anything with her weight,,,and I never say ``if you eat that you will get fat``
I think her height is 125 cm,,but dont quote me on that! but it would be very close to that height.
Sorry to rattle on,,,, but i needed to vent and seek advice as to what to do or not to do and you seem a great person to ask...
