Sabina

I've had this problem with my kids. is 18 now, stands 5' 5 " and weighs

about 250#. Kaity is almost 15, stands 5' 4.5 " , and barely weighs 100#

soaking wet!!! I've always tried to keep things kind of the same for both of

them. If they were having say yogurt for snack. not the non-fat

variety, well Kaity got the higher calorie kind. I did the same with ice

cream. I would buy the same type (ex - fudge ripple) but one would be high

fat/high calorie, and the other would be the " normal " (ie cheaper) calorie

type. Whenever " low calorie " type snack foods came out, I would stock those

for and the regular variety for Kaity. This way could have the

" same " type of snack foods that Kaity got, but not the same amount of fats

and calories.

It really became a challenge when we added my son's milk allergy into the

equation! LOL
