[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 to revisiting food restrictions, OP. I have a lot of issues with food/sweets and I absolutely attribute them to scarcity mindset around food when I was young. Forbidding things does not teach self control, as you've just found. Also, as a teen I was HUNGRY. As in, not getting enough calories because our meals were planned for dieting adults. Make sure your kid is getting enough protein, fats, and carbs. [/quote] All this. A 13 year old boy needs hearty and balanced meals, especially if he’s active and in sports. I’d also tell him that most people have a food or group of foods that they have binged. Everyone has their kryptonite. Some people avoid that food altogether, others save them for special occasions, etc. Don’t shame him. But talk to him about strategies. [/quote]
