Welcome. It is so nice to mee...Cecelia and Laynie,<br /><br />Welcome. It is so nice to meet you both. I have not been blogging as much as I was as I am working on a master's degree and am currently working 30 yours a week in internship. I will be done this fall some time! It is a struggle but things can get better. Focus on attaching and not the lack of attachment. I think that is key.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811548306583601019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134242791095743131.post-89998115461322895132010-07-31T23:07:55.037-05:002010-07-31T23:07:55.037-05:00So interesting to see this site!

We have a 14 year old girl that has had issues since the 1 st day she entered out lives- food along with everything else in this blog and much much more...I am ready to try the no worry food idea, had not tried this yet.. due to tummy issues that we just got ironed out and just not going that route- it sounds like the natural way to deal. We are happy o see that we are not the only one having food isuues- I would not really wnat anyone to live with RAD- life is not a "Fairy Tale"Cecelianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134242791095743131.post-5662119227491093662010-07-16T13:03:51.766-05:002010-07-16T13:03:51.766-05:00just last night, after 2am at some point or anothe...just last night, after 2am at some point or another, he ate NINE boiled eggs that kristin was intending to make her lunches for the week out of, and EIGHT egg rolls that Courtney had bought with her 10$ in babysitting money(shes an adopted PTSD kid too- big shock!). i told him he'd have to give her the 10$ back and let it go, but what really irked me was that, as usual, he denied the whole thing. yah... the other kids wake up to eat NINE eggs LOL. the fact is, we got rid of the TV weeks ago, so now hes eating twice as much overnight because hes mad about the Tv being gone. im no dummy. he only ate the foods in the hosue that were slated for something specific and were "owned" by someone specific. then, after he got up today, he ate the ONLY cereal ive asked the kids not to eat. sure, he chose low fat "Kashi go lean" granola over frosted flakes in his mind. yah.. ok.. right.. sure. ;) RAD SUCKS.alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987529367690926037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134242791095743131.post-54717206253998355572010-07-15T01:55:24.497-05:002010-07-15T01:55:24.497-05:00My son hoards food.

I gave him a container with snacks he selected to keep in his room with the only condition being he put the trash back in the container, critter purposes. He ate maybe one and continued to steal from the kitchen. He is almost 13 now and you are right, the eating never stops. He will ask for snack foods or sweets only, I will request something healthy be eaten first sometimes. If he asks to do something and I say no (play video games, etc) then his 3rd or 4th request is always for food. This is usually the only time I deny it and I let him know it is because he is bored and not hungry. I now have a lock on the pantry where I keep all the sweets/salty foods. The amount of unhealthy food he was ingesting was becoming worrisome. He will still steal some but the amount is greatly lessoned since he can't always get to it. I hate the food issues, I always feel torn on how to handle it. If he just over ate anything, that would be different. Unfortunately, it is only the bad stuff. I considered not buying them, but he will have to deal with it at some point and better that he not go crazy as an adult...I guess.

I have a drawer in his room where I slip snacks into and he can eat them when he wants.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14840067835526190187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134242791095743131.post-25447902797264550092010-07-10T19:08:51.182-05:002010-07-10T19:08:51.182-05:00Sissy gorges (used to sneak and hide food)

I make big meals, I keep the fridge full and use words like. "Eat all you want. I bought this for you so you will have enough to eat and I want you to feel full." or if I make a desert "I made this for you. Eat as much as you want." It is amazing with those instructions how much less they want because they don't feel denied. They still eat a lot right now. They are 15, 18 and 18.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811548306583601019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134242791095743131.post-57105047410365109922010-07-10T07:31:12.827-05:002010-07-10T07:31:12.827-05:00we have food issues...
