Yes, I know... I haven't cooked a darn thing today! Cereal for breakfast, fast food for lunch, and dinner out! However, we have a tradition in our family that we always go out to dinner when someone has a birthday. Today was mine and it was my choice. Hmmm... Mexican, Chinese, Italian??? Choices, choices! After some thought about what restaurant would offer Piggy something she could actually eat, I decided on Bob Evans. Yes, Bob Evans for my birthday dinner...say what you will, but I knew they would have some choices for her without too much temptation of say bread or chips on the table before dinner was served.
Piggy got her menu and searched it over very intently and finally decided on grilled chicken with a baked potato and fruit. Whoo hoo!! Way to go, Piggy! Of course we praised her for her choices (which bolstered her spirit about not ordering the fried something or other that she REALLY wanted), and she ate happily, got full, and we moved on. Simple as that with no regrets!
Piggy is a bread eater. Pure and simple. She LOVES flour tortillas, biscuits, rolls, etc. I know this is not going to be easy for her, but with all of us pitching in and making sure she has the ability to have choices and make the RIGHT choices, despite what our own cravings are, will surely make this an easier transition for her.
