Sonja has made the leap from FOOD FEAR to FEAR NO FOOD! In the past two weeks she's eaten more than she's done in the previous 9 years. She's had tilapia, refried beans, baked beans, taco soup, a meatball, mashed potatoes, pot roast and today she ate steak (and said she liked it and will order it at a restaurant next time!). Is that totally incredible or what? We wouldn't have imaged this was possible last month but she's in agreement with the plan and is now a willing subject at the dinner table! We're pretty excited.

Hooray! Sonja, I am so happy for you! Keep up the good work:)
Congratulations!!! I hope that whatever happened to Sonja happens to Mark pretty soon. That is so awesome. There are lots of yummy foods out there and I'm so glad Sonja is now willing to eat them. Way to go.
So, what made the difference?
ok, so i may have eaten steak... but your not going to make me eat hot dogs!!!
There is a big difference between steak and hot dogs. They are good at Lake Powell though. Something about the sand and the heat and the grill. It's the only place I like to eat them.
What made the difference? I could write you a book... later. Basically we started threatening her (again) after taking a 2 yearish hands-off approach. This time it worked. It's been a cycle of these 2 strategies her whole life. And we're not talking platefuls here, it's one bite at a time. But we are overjoyed at these bites!!!!!! There is hope for the future!
Wow! Way to go Sonja. We are so happy for you.
Way to go Sonja - we will all have to go to 'eat a burger' when we come and visit so we can see this amazing phenomenon for ourselves.
I meant 'in and out burger' --- sorry
