With everything going on, my 3 year old chooses now to start this whine all the time throw tantrums every day phase AND IT IS DRIVING ME MAD!!!!! I have done so good today staying away from food, but this is something that drives me to food!!!!

I feel you!! It about drives me to eating AND drinking LOL!

Oh man if I was a drinker I would be so in trouble a lot of days!!!! LoL!!! My kids are 3, 4 & 14!!! Drama all around! With my only boys attitude stuck in the middle!

Divert and distract and in turn you divert and distract yourself from food,

Get in the car go find a huge box, make an airplane or castle, Get some crayons and draw pictures to put all over the frig,

Make a glitter Water bottle to settle her/his mind.

Go see the animals at petco

There are a million things to do to distract and divert!

Maybe she knows you are busy losing weight and just wants attention? Mine used to throw a tantrum every time I got on a long distance call to my mum.

Eating will not solve your problem unless you eat the kid, but of course, that may bring on other problems.

Seriously, you're doing good. This is a good exercise for helping you learn to eliminate eating as a solution to anything but real hunger. Easy for me to say....empty nester.

Thanks guys! I will try the distract method!!!!! LoL!!!
