[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, the reason he is interested in events with lots of food is because you are denying him food all of the time.

Do you realize that one way to cause a food obsession (and then eventually a weight issue) is by too much denial?

You are making food the coveted apple he can't touch.

The people I know who have the healthiest relationships with food and maintain a consistent healthy weight are the ones who don't have rigid restrictions or warped ideas about food.  They eat when they're hungry.  They eat in moderation, but they eat what they want.

You are only going to make your kid overeat when you aren't around because he'll fear that's the only time he can really eat what he wants and feel satiated.

then help me to understand why there are so many fat kids around? All of my friends who grew u overseas with big time restrictions, or went through a war or the great depression (older friends) are thin! They now have access to all the food they want, but they do not overeat. 
[b]I tell my son that he should never want to feel full.[/b] Just eat enough and don't commit one the sin of gluttony (we aren't religious, just conscientious). 
On that note, I see why some religions insist on an occasional fast.

That is a crazy ass thing to tell a child. Sure, it's fine to feel hungry before a meal, but then you should eat until you're full.

You are harming him physically by not allowing him to eat enough and harming him emotionally by giving him a very disordered relationship with food.[/quote]
