[quote=Anonymous]OP you  might not like this idea, but maybe just let her eat WTF ever she wants for lunch. If she wants Cheetos, pack em. If she wants PBJ and a Reese's cup, pack it. Because if she hates fruit and you're thinking she'll stop stealing because she's now got two pieces of fruit, that's not going to stop the problem. She seems to like snacks and indulgent, bad for her food. Honestly, make her eat a healthy breakfast and dinner. Let her eat some junk for lunch- after awhile, the thrill might wear off and she'll realize Cheetos aren't that awesome and might request good stuff again. And won't feel compelled to steal it because she's had it.

I totally remember now. You also said she stole a candy bar off your desk. She is wanting junky indulgent foods! I really think my plan might work. Let her have her fill of crap so the forbidden fruitiness of it wears off and she no longer feels she has to steal to get it. Clearly, the apple and banana and homemade desserts aren't cutting it.[/quote]
