Last night, she didn't get up. I gave her a PBJ sandwich & chocolate milk at 8pm but that pushed the "lights out" to 9pm. There is another thing that I have noticed: She doesn't seem to get hungry as often on weekend nights. Even though DD is denying it, I think, she is skipping school lunch. Her class had to write a "persuasive letter" to the principal in English class and she complained about having to fill every compartment on her tray even though she didn't like the food.

She is munching on a sandwich right now and let me know that she is sick of whole wheat bread. When I asked her if she wanted me to buy rye bread, she started whining. I think, I'll make sure to fix her a sandwich with German bread next time (DH calls it "the brick" claiming it weighs a ton. One slice has 6 grams of fiber.)

Thank you for all the suggestions! I know that milk with supper may not be a great choice but I don't know if DD really drinks her milk at school. Plus a whole cup of milk adds an easy 150 cal, more than a can of Coke DD9 is 4'7", weighs 63 lbs and even though that is a healthy weight, it's hellish trying to find pants that fit her tiny waist and long legs. For a while, I let her do all the things that docs claim lead to childhood obesity, hoping she'd fit into those regular size clothes (eat in front of the TV, spend hours in front of the computer, eat chips and other high fat foods). Didn't work... I always knew obesity was largely genetic... Anyway, so far, letting DD eat a sandwich right before going to bed seems to be working I might try giving her more than just a snack after school as well. Somehow her body is apparently not getting all it needs.
