Guest guest Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 This afternoon we took 3 young granddaughters to a movie. The movie was beyond the two youngest (age 3.) One whined a lot. The other kept needing popcorn, a drink, etc. It was 3D and everyone kept dropping their glasses. Etc. etc. etc. (Hint: if you take young children to a 3D movie, take a flashlight, preferably a headlamp.) My husband took one of the 3-yo's to the bathroom yet again and I was alone w/ the other 3 and the 8-yo (who has cognitive delays) and that was when I started eating the popcorn by the handful. I was able to observe what was going on..... I was left alone to cope. At 60 I should be able to do that, having progressed all the way thru mom to grandmother status, but still.... observation was, when "abandoned" that's one occasion I start digging into the food.New at this. I'm working on the observation stage. What triggers eating? We had dinner w/ said granddaughters' parents afterwards and I was able to keep to one serving (pressure was off.)Ellie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
