[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Update:  Today I refused to stop for the [b][u]usual sugary drink and snack at 7/11 after school[/u].[/b]  The boys refused to eat anything when we got home (having skipped lunch and eaten half a frosted poptart each for breakfast), but after moaning about living in "Stalingrad" and realizing I wouldn't give in consented to grilled cheese sandwiches and sweetened yogurt.  And they ate a decent dinner.  Small steps!  Thanks for the advice.  I told them that they need to help me make a list of what they want from the grocery store tomorrow that is reasonably nutritious.  Yes, they have messed up eating habits, and yes, they really cliaim to eat junk to "relieve stress."  One said to me the other day, "Haven't you ever heard of emotional eating?" -- don't know where he learned that -- at least he gets point for self awareness!  Anyway, I appreciate your tips.[/quote]

There's your problem.  "Usual" stop at 7-11?

How did this even start?  How far back does this go?

It will take some time to turn this around, but you're on your way.  The key will be consistency.[/quote]
