[quote=Anonymous]get it all out of the house. once a week or two when you are out with her, let her pick out a candy bar or a pack of goldfish. you need to let her have these things in moderation, but it can be hard to say no and not sneak when it is available in the house to sneak. you can't make it an all or nothing thing though where you take them away. she will get older and find her own access. then she will have no control over it and any binge will get bigger. you need to teach her to learn to enjoy these things as "treats" and get rid of the secretive. if you have ever frowned on these foods, that's not a good thing. sweets and crappy food is okay but only if it is sometimes, rarely. lastly, instead of candy and crappy food, try making a special dessert, still a sweet/treat, but not so bad with food coloring and bad additives.[/quote]
