[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 15 y o with ADHD was like this. Wed wake up and have no food left to pack for lunch. So, what happens if you “close the kitchen”?  At 9 pm our kitchen is closed and no one is allow to cook, open the cabinets, etc for anything except water. I pit a post it on the fridge & pantry “closed til 6 am”, It’s a hard rule, and it worked for her.

I also have a shelf with snack food that is labeled “lunch boxes only”. That way no one eats the lunch stuff. A drawer in the fridge labeled” for snacking” has fruit and cheese sticks in it.

If this hadn’t worked I would have locked it all up but maybe you don’t need to go that far. [/quote]

My mom was a control freak like this. And now her kids have weird body issues.

[b]You need to teach them moderation.[/b] She’s going to move out one day and it’ll be OK to have a cookie at night.[/quote]

18:47 from page 3 here.  I'm all ears - please tell me how to teach moderation to my 16 yo in this area.  [/quote]

How about not keeping cookies in the house? When you go out to lunch, you can have one cookie for dessert? Or, at the grocery store, we buy one cookie from the bakery section as a treat?

You can’t have a bunch of junk food in the house, anxious/poor impulse control kids, and then put a lock on the pantry door.

This type of shit comes up in therapy years later... my mom was a control freak, and bought tons of cookies, but wouldn’t let me eat the cookies, and then shamed me when I ate the cookies, and then I used my babysitting money to buy cookies and hide them from her...[/quote]
