Hello everybody,
I'm getting solid on Step One, I have the habit and Im now focusing on making sure the protein adds up to 20g.

I had a parenting victory yesterday. My 12 and 10 yr old boys have been fighting badly lately, all kinds of name calling and I lose my patience. Instead of my usual method of not letting them go outside, yelling, sending to their room, taking away devices, etc. I had them write 8 nice things about each other on a piece of paper, then they had to exchange and read them out loud and 'approve' them before they were allowed outside. They didn't write nice things, but exchanging them meant they had to read them anyway. So they wrote dumb things like "I'm a noob." "I'm trash at Fortnight" and "I make big doo doos." But they were laughing, and so was I, so mission accomplished. Also they didn't write any of the truly hurtful things they say, like your teeth are ugly, you're fat, you don't have friends, which says to me that they know when they are being mean.
I hope my more creative approach has been influenced by getting steadier with food, and there is more to come!
