[quote=Anonymous]Thanks all. OP here. She gets plenty of healthy foods at home. Salads. Veggies. Salmon. Avocado. I also have plenty of easy to serve stuff like grapes and berries in the fridge. Cheese sticks. Hummus. Even in the single serving portions for snacks. Nuts. It's easier for her to grab a cheese stick out of the fridge than to go through the effort of pushing a barstool to the fridge, climbing up dangerously, getting the OREOS, and hiding them in her room. I have a huge bowl of apples and clementines sitting on the counter!

So yes going to have to eliminate the sweets altogether to curb this. We do tend to have them around and my DH also likes to binge snack at night on carbs. Maybe that's the problem.

To the PP with BED, yes I do sometimes think she has anxiety. Or very mild ADHD. She has a lot
Of trouble self regulating and getting to bed on time too. She can stay up until 10-11pm after a full day of school and activities. So I wonder if this is all related. I just don't want her to have a mouth full of cavities bc these are adult teeth coming in now.

What is the difference between secret eating and binge eating?

I think the issue may be more of self regulation. Most kids will sneak a few but not 10-12![/quote]
