[quote=Anonymous]This was me as a kid.  I definitely had anxiety and it probably was a control thing (I wouldn't have been able to identify it as a control thing at that age).  It did turn into a binge eating problem and eventually full blown bulimia for about 6 years following by not binging but purging or restricting for another 15.  I still struggle with some disordered eating habits.   My anxiety is under control now but when it flares, the desire to binge or purge or restrict also surface.

My parents were not at all controlling about food.  My mom was very controlling, highly anxious and often yelled and overreacted to other situations though so that absolutely led to some of my anxiety and need for control.   
I would reach out to the pediatrician first.  It's hard because when my parents did confront me, I denied, lied, was difficult, etc.   I was forced to go to a therapist and it didn't help at all for years and years.   So i really don't have a good answer of how to go about it.  [/quote]
