[QUOTE="loricbme, post: 62551, member: 2036"] Thank you for your answers. The overeating and weight gain came along around the time she started having problems in her first pre-k program that she got kicked out of. I have expressed my concern to her pediatrician a couple of times and he just tells me to give her healthy foods to choose from. I'm not kidding, he said, "give her a stick of celery." She loathes celery so it's kind of a funny comment to me looking back. Right about the time she started having problems, she and I were in a car accident. This is when anxiety started showing up in everything. We have major separation issues with her. Sometimes she's ok if she goes to grandparents for the day.. as long as it's not overnight and she knows her granny is going to buy something for her. But when she knows she's going overnight it is a constant worry. We even try to prepare her well in advance. I went to a concert with some friends this past Friday night and she was to stay with grandparents. I reassured her that I would pick her up early Sat. morning. Just the thought of it was so much for her to bear. husband was working his way home (he's a railroad engineer with no schedule so we never know when he'll be home) and he said he'd go pick her up when he got in town.
