I know how hard it was to for you to get him to GAIN the weight in the first place -- so I hear the sadness in your comment. I'm sending "cyber milkshakes" to help find the missing pound. {{hugs}} Yeah... The Boy's lunch was definitely a guilt-inspired one. As was the homemade pancakes when all I really wanted to do was stay in my warm bed and catch up on sleep. Eileen Poor CS spawn!

Yeah… The Boy’s lunch was definitely a guilt-inspired one. As was the homemade pancakes when all I really wanted to do was stay in my warm bed and catch up on sleep.

What did you do?!" It's so not like you to pack so many processed foods! I don't know if it'll make you feel better, but I did the same thing yesterday after Spawn's annual physical when the pediatrician told him not only would he need glasses, but that his script looked suspiciously similar (identical) to mine and CS Dad's. :( Oh, and he came in under-weight and an inch taller since his last check-up two months ago, so he's losing weight again. :( So I took the kid to McD's to play in the Play Place and stuff our faces with processed chicken, fried tater stix, and soft drinks. Well, Spawn had a 2% chocolate milk, but still...Table for GUILT, party of LAME anyone?... :p Ugh. AND I let him choose his dinner last night from the fridge full of leftovers. What did he pick? Leftover frozen pizza, edamame, and a YoCrunch yogurt. Thankfully he had a banana and some cheese for a snack early in the day. ;) Good luck! I know how hard it is to shake off those feelings of guilt - and, for me, inadequacy, because I just can't seem to keep weight on him no matter what I do! :( My very first thought when I saw today’s bento was, “Wow, that’s a box full of mom-guilt.
