[QUOTE="maxeygirls, post: 352794, member: 8869"] Due to medication, difficult child is gaining weight at an alarming rate. Her psychiatrist is adjusting her medications to try to help with the appetite issue while still helping her but she has gained almost 10lbs in under 2 months. I had bought new clothes for her three weeks ago and the pants won't snap! I've cut all juice, processed foods and sweets, substituted things like white turkey for bologna, low fat dressings for heavy condiments etc. but she is always hungry and it's so hard to tell her no. We've had to put a lock on the fridge because if we turn our backs for just a second, she's in there and digging into cheese, crackers, anything she can find. I'm offering raw fruits and veggies as snacks, which she has always loved before but she resists them now. If I make meals fun she eats them, such as a 'fruit monster' or a 'veggie tic-tac-toe' but she is still begging for other foods. Has anyone been in this spot? How did you handle it? Are there any substitutes which will satisfy both of us? [/QUOTE]
