[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's like their entire existence revolves around food. For example, we went to the zoo yesterday. We had just had a decent breakfast before we left, oatmeal, yogurt, fruit, sausage and in the car, and as soon as we got to the zoo, they were talking about lunch, what we were going to get for lunch, and when we were eating lunch, it was about dinner.  For dinner, we decided to get takeout they wanted a fish dinner until I said I would just finish the couple of slices left from when we ordered pizza, then they wanted to split the pizza too. There was literally 2 slices of pizza.   They have eaten leftovers that were supposedly for me, which they got intentionally for me.  At meals, if I don't immeadiaely pile my plate high or store it away and hide it somewhere in the fridge I can forget about leftovers or seconds. It doesn't matter if I increase the quantity of what I make. The issue is I feel like I either have to overeat at meals or hide food in order to have a small helping of seconds or take something for lunch the next day. Is this something that can be worked out or better to part ways if I can't deal with it. How likely is their fixation to change?[/quote]

It can change if she recognizes (on her own) that she has a problem with food.  Sounds like she is a compulsive overeater.  I used to have a food obsession.  A therapist told me about overeaters anonymous which is a 12 step program for people who have unhealthy relationships with food (be it over or under eating or bingeing and purging or exercise bulimia). I would be eating one meal and thinking about and planning the next.  The obsession was the symptom of a larger problem —trauma, neglect etc. I have recovered from this and it took at lot of work.
