Ellie is 8. She has always been a slow picky eater. I see Max and Clair coming around with their eating habits, but poor Ellie Bean is holding strong in being slow, picky and drama ridden when it comes to eating her dinner. If it's not spaghetti or pizza, we have a problem.
Last night she was struggling once again and I took this photo. One day I hope to look back on this and laugh at the long painful dinners that ended with timers and lost desserts. One day I hope that this challenge has resulted in Elli becoming the healthy eater that puts her in the right path in life. One day, I hope to look back and safe I was right to keep fighting this fight with often ends in tears, frustrations, and Ellie saying things like "I feel like you don't love me or care about me."
I love her so much and I will fight for her health. I will not give in to the junk food diets that prevail at dinners around America today. I will stay strong.
I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.
