[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you are exaggerating and setting your kid up to feel self conscious. She is only 4, so I assume she is in your care most of the time. You said the side effect is more hunger so she eats more and gains weight, this is how everyone puts on weight. The key is to give her healthy food when she is hungry. Occasional treats are fine. How often is she around huge pieces of cake and lollipops. ( You would have to eat an awful lot of lollipops to cause weight gain btw)

I have a large child, not overweight but solid and she loves to eat. We eat healthy meals 90% of the time and mostly healthy snacks. I let it go when she is with other people. You will drive yourself crazy and drive your kid to hide things from you.[/quote]

And this attitude that you know better, even when OP states clearly her child has a medical team advising her, is exactly why OP is here asking for advice on how to convey the message.

OP, be blunt. Larla has a metabolic disorder, please don't give her food without checking with me first. PERIOD. That is all you need to say.

Any one who pushes more or sneaks food to your child doesn't get to be around your child, or go ahead and freak out on them. You were clear, you were polite.  If they insist that they know best, it is fine to freak out on them. [/quote]
