Contract still valid?

That's what I was wondering, so I had a chat with Ben yesterday to see what he thought. I explained that we'd achieved so many of the things the contract had set out to do e.g. getting Ben out of 'limboland', ensuring he doesn't cheat on calories, easing him back into school, getting the exercise under control, putting on weight and doing daily challenges e.g. eating fear foods, etc. So, this far on in recovery, was the contract still valid?


Ben surprised me by saying a big emphatic yes. He still finds it really helpful to have this structure in place and be awarded points for sticking to it and challenging himself. So we'll stick with the contract as it stands for a while longer before either ditching it or adjusting it to suit changed circumstances.
