As many of you know me already, you know my situation.... having a 3 year old step daughter who is with us for a period of time then away for a period of time.
Anyway, she is going through a really difficult stage with her eating and we have had many tantrums at the dinner table over the last couple of weeks....
While my Oh and i are trying to convince her to eat and finish her meals there i am either not eating anything or simply having a shake and she doesnt understand why.
I have briefly explained that i am on a diet and am having special shakes for meals and that my bum in shrinking and that the reason my swimming costume is too big is because im on a diet. But the questions keep coming... "katie, why are u not having tea?" I really dont want her to have issues with her weight or get a complex about diets at such a young age and i just dont know how else to explain it to someone!!! She wasnt her last time i was on LT so didnt have to worry about this.
How does everyone else handle this??
Any advise would be great
