[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was the age I started binge eating.

I ate very healthy and felt such shame when I ate something unhealthy that I'd do it in secret.  Then, once I ate one junk food item, it was like "oh well, might as well stuff myself" and then I'd eat like a whole box or bag of something in secret.

It wasn't attached to anything my parents did.  I was just a very active kid in sports and dance where healthy eating was important for optimal performance.  If anything, I think what kind of 'triggered' me was the health & sex ed teacher they brought in for 2 weeks in 5th grade who had a giant hunk of fat that weighed 5 lbs that she passed along to everyone.  She then showed how many calories equaled 5 lbs of fat and what food items added up to those calories.  Like, __ number of Happy Meals, __ number of Chips Ahoy cookies, etc.

I'd get her some therapy ASAP just in case that's what is happening.   [/quote]

I think that in this case it’s more that the mom has the ‘issue’. If she had free reign of the kitchen and was binge eating things in private then that would be different. In this case the Mom is treating her preteen like a 2 year old which is the issue.[/quote]
