[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the elimination of carbs/sweets from the house, the shame you’ve associated with eating, and the fact that she sneaks “bad” foods when she can… she’s at high risk for developing bulimia. Ask me how I know. [/quote]
Not really, unless they read about it online as a “solution.” [b]Here it isnt about image as much as no self control. [/b]

Many adhd or asd kids overeat or impulse eat addictive foods like sweets or junk food if they’re in the house. 
Glp-1 for adults is literally for untreated ADHD food noise or diabetes. [/quote]

Wha are you talking about? OP says her DD “hates her fat body.” Feeling out of control in a household where mom is deeply controlling and critical around body/eating issues is fertile ground for an eating disorder, whether ADHD is present or not. [/quote]

[b]Seems like the out of control was not being able to stop herself from eating a whole dinner of snacks or bread before dinner when the parents got home from work. [/b]Which technically works since simple carbs digest quickly and leave you hungry again sooner. Racking up the empty calories. Protein and fiber are the opposite. [/quote]

PP here and this is literally the story of my tween years. I was also just a little bit overweight with a critical, perfectionist mom who thought dieting was the answer. I would try to “be good” and eat healthy or restrict calories for a while, but a growing body wants what it wants, and the overcorrection was fierce. It took me over a decade to undo the damage to myself, and my relationship with my mom has never really recovered.
