You know, a couple years ago I made a comment to Kathy that Vanessa would be my anorexic and Harley would be my bulimic. She asked if one had to have each of those. I said 'of course!'.
Harley, from a very early age, was able to make herself throw up. Not for any reason other than she wanted to. Vanessa on the other hand has never been a big fan of eating. She's one of those annoying people that forget to eat or just don't feel like it. It'll be great for her when she's older. It's hard for me now as a mother because it's our job to make them eat.
Lately, Vanessa has taken to creative means to get rid of food she doesn't want to eat but we try to make her. So here are some suggestions if you are in need of hiding food.
1. The old standard, give it to the dog.
2. Put most of your food on your little sister's plate and then claim you've eaten it.
(note: in order for this to work, your sister can't be a tattletale)
3. Put it in a napkin and claim you HAVE to throw away the napkin.
4. Drop it on the floor. You can't eat food off the floor, right?!
5. Stuff your mouth with the food then run to bathroom "to go potty" and then flush it down the
toilet.
All of the above Vanessa has tried. She hasn't gotten away with it yet, but practice makes perfect.
