Anyone who wants tips on staying slim should come and observe how Xuanie does it. Eversince he got back from Asia, he’s lost interest in food altogether (again).
The stress of making him eat is definitely one cause of the rapid graying of my hair. I would say 90% of his food intake was done through major distraction and he does not even realize I have popped food into his throat.
He is a natural hamster, stuffing food in his mouth cavity for up to 15 min at least for each spoonful. He chews but simply has difficulty swallowing. (Is this a medical condition?)
His newest tactic is to tell me he’s eaten: He eats “pretend cookies” and drinks “coffee” with his stuffed animals and other toys. When food is offered, he looks at me weird and tells me he’s already eaten. He seems to believe that he has really eaten.
Yet when sleep time comes, he would complain of hunger. But, nothing I offer will please him, he simply wants to be up to run about and whine about being hungry.
Some Hollywood anorexics (or Asian girls) might be his only match when it comes to abstinence from food.
