[quote=Anonymous]Not to scare you and hope this is not the case. But, I have a condition similar to what you describe for your husband’s side of the family. Under rare circumstances this metabolic issue can manifest as being hungry all the time and leading to overeating and weight gain. Two things can trigger this. Food not traveling fast enough to the portion of the stomach that signals being full or actual neurological misfiring. Endocrine issues are a possibility too. Or your younger DD might just be a foodie, in which case you should lean into it with as many healthy options as possible. But, it might benefit both your older and younger DD to keep chasing the actual diagnosis for your older DD. It changed my life knowing what I am dealing with.[/quote]
