Simply Homeschooling

My how time flies !

Bad blogger ! I keep forgetting to update this blog . Things have been going very well here. Weight loss is continuing- I have lost 29.7 lbs so far, Prince Charming ( my hubby) has lost 25.6 lbs and son has lost an amazing 46 inches all over his body. More important than the weight loss has been getting him to actually love and embrace new foods. As an Autistic child with texture issues, this is a near miracle ! Before this lifestyle change, it was a battle to get him to eat anything beyond plain pasta, blue box macaroni and cheese and peanut butter. I should have put my foot down, but parenting is full of battles- parenting an autistic child is battles on a landmine during an earthquake.Add homeschooling and it can become all that on a vibrating floor. In short, you learn to pick your battles. Now, 3 months and 2 weeks into the journey, son will request things like arugala, baby spinach, grilled cod, quinoa ,millet and more. He reads the labels to see how many calories are in a food, and he even turned down Girl Scout Cookies and Ice cream . At easter he decided to eat three peeps, and said no thank you , I don't need that " to any other offers of candy. Thank you Lord for showing me how to make the changes we all needed to make ! Please, Father, continue to inspire me and show me ways to help the three of us acchive our goal . |
