[quote=Anonymous]At age 12 DD weights all of 55 pounds. (She is also short for her age: 4' 5"). I have no idea what to do. If I thought it was the meds I'd cut the meds, but she takes no meds on weekends or holidays and shows no increase in appetite. I already make high calorie meals and encourage a lo t of high calorie snacking; DD can't see what the fuss is about and says she ) often isn't hungry, b) doesn't like 98 percent of the foods in the universe, and c) "gets distracted" and forgets to keep taking bites even when she is hungry. I give her boost + twice daily; she hates it but drinks it. N sign of any eating disorder-- she is otherwise a happy and energetic kid, has not yet hit puberty but seems thrilled by the idea of someday looking like a teenager. So I don't think this is fear of puberty or body image stuff. Any ideas? Tearing my hair out. [/quote]
