[quote=Anonymous]We have this issue with a 7 year old and I'm glad we're not the only ones. We went for years not buying any Cheerios or cereal of any kind because he would binge eat it. We almost stopped buying bread all together. I've tried to the closed kitchen approach and so many many other approaches. One of the therapists we worked with suggested providing the binging food but in tiny pieces because it tricks the mind into thinking you're eating more of it. I don't know. It's ongoing. We haven't locked the pantry yet I've though about it.

We don't have cookies in the house unless a relative or someone sends them to us, which happens more often than you'd think. There is no way we can have granola bars in the house. The binging isn't really even about sweets, it's cucumbers, bread, dry plain Cheerios, plain eggos, unsweetened applesauce, bananas, etc.. If I buy a bunch of bananas, I can put two out that are visible but have to hide the rest. It's just not healthy to eat five bananas in one day. I've found that sometimes small things help. I put a clean washcloth over the bananas and it stops the visible trigger.
