[quote=Anonymous][quote=Pennywoloz]I have a 12 year old girl and she is constantly getting into snacks. For instance yesterday I went grocery shopping and bought groceries for the week and I forgot to hide the snacks when I got home. I went to get ready for bed and noticed one of the snack boxes open and the whole box is gone. I look in her room and under her bed are all the wrappers. She was already asleep, so I asked her about it this morning and she literally looked at me and said that she didn't do it. This happens all the time. If I don't lock up the snacks, she'll get into them. And she is not snack deprived. She gets a snack to take to school, one after school, and one before bed. I don't know if this means anything to what she is doing, but she does have high functioning autism and ADHD.
Please no bashing. I don't know what to do anymore.

My daughter was like this and went through a “chunky” stage at 12 or 13.  I never restricted her eating and now at 17 years old she eats what and how much she wants.  She is an athlete and plays sports everyday.  The difference now is she gravitates towards healthy food options that give her energy.  I used to find candy wrappers and empty chips bags behind her bed and would take a picture and show her with a laugh.  Wish I’d saved those pics.  I’m glad I didn’t restrict her eating.  She is happy and healthy.  More important things to worry about now.[/quote]
