[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think she needs to feel more in control and less scrutinized. I wonder if you gave her more access to treats instead of less then she wouldn't feel the need to hide it and would feel more relaxed about eating in general. Try it for awhile and then slowly get the junk food out and the healthy food in.[/quote] I agree with the above. A friend of mine who had recovered from an eating disorder told me that part of her problem was about control. She needed to feel she had control over something in her life and food was the area she felt she could make her stand on. Maybe if the child felt that she could have a snack whenever she wanted, she wouldn't want snacks quite so frequently? .[/quote]
