[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a huge snack/junk food eater, but like to have some cookies/chips/ice cream in the house for the times I do want something.

Unless I hide it (or buy a flavor no one else likes) the rest of the family will scarf it daily until it's gone... so there's nothing left when I go looking for a treat.

I feel like a crazy person for hiding food. Am I the only person who does this?[/quote]

[b]Yes from my MIL who has cognitive decline.[/b] She wont eat anything other than sweets. I made two zucchini bread loaves for my family one Sunday and by Tuesday she had eaten 1.5 loaves. At night. Cookies- she will eat them all. 5, 10, 20- doesnt matter. She once at an entire half of 13x9 cake at night. The next day she has issues and sleeps all day or has diarrhea.

She will decline most foods and will begrudgingly eat breakast and dinner with us because we make her so that she doesnt lose anymore weight. I buy 6 different fruits every week, there is cereal, milk, yogurt, snack bars, ensure shakes, we always have leftovers so it isnt a matter of access.

She had a terrible childhood and I think she reverts to that state, especially at night. [/quote]

This is the only valid reason to hide food -- if the other person has a mental illness that prevents rational behavior.[/quote]
