[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 410832, member: 9175"] Thanks , all. I can honestly say I hadn't thought of thyroid or pre-diabetes. When she was younger, she was always on the big side, but not overweight. In part, because she was more active (dance and soccer) but also becasue she lived with me and had to conform - to at least a degree - to the food I served and bought. Yes, she'd binge with her soccer friend's food and at school or parties, but I served healthy meals and expected her to eat them. At her annual checkups (pre-age 18) her doctor would gently address the weight and I know she didn't ordder any tests then, but I wonder if she might not have at her last appointment. She's pretty savy and daughter has probably put on 70 pounds since high school graduation. I will wait for an opening to suggest it (so sensitive of a subject ...especially coming from a mom). Star, I didn't know carb binging made you sloth ... very interesting. She is a beautiful girl and I hate to see her pack the weight on like this. I also hate to see her feel she has to hide her eating. I don't think eating cookie dough is weird (I'll grab a spoonful myself when I can!), but a HUGE tub, hidden in a wastebasket and let around for a week ... that is weird. I know she doesn't want to do this, but it is so hard to reach her. Believe me, back in HS with the hidden soccer food, I DID address it. I took her to a nutritionist and have tried to model good eating habits. She's never been receptive to help and now, at 19.5 years (and living with her dad, who is not exactly svelte or healthy himself), it is hard. I've learned alot from your answers ... thanks so much.
