[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I am a concerned mom who posted before. So, for better context - she does not eat food at home. She reportedly ate acai bowl for breakfast (I was not there but I know they went out with friends), then she fixed salad at home when i was away, and then she had dinner out with friends again and she said she ate, salmon and fries. I had her all-time favourite snack baked when she got home, and she did not even look at at, just ran to her room. If she really eats what she claims, thens he is just avoiding curbs? She does have scolios but it is not too bad. [/quote]

If she actually ate that, good. But as someone who had an ED as a teen, you basically lie as easily as you breath so I am skeptical. I would be able to tell my parents a detailed review of my day of eating when in reality it was diet snapple til about 6pm, a few spears of asparagus and half a chicken breast. If she is lying, she way overshot with the fries. A fried carb?![/quote]

If she consumers no food at the house, and refuses most things at home, she is likely being untruthful about what she eats outside the house and is aware you are concerned and probing.  I would hate to do this, but based on her eating habits and current weight, I would start weighing her weekly.  Explain to her that you are concerned about her eating habits and you believe she may be having difficulty getting enough nutrients at a very critical time to her growing and developing.  You need to keep on eye on her weight for the sake of her health.  Weigh her first thing in the morning, before she has a chance to drink a bunch of water and weight her backwards. It can be hard to notice weight loss under 10 lbs..but she really can’t afford for you to not to notice her losing weight until she has lost that much.  [/quote]
