[QUOTE="witzend, post: 321830, member: 99"] I think I would definitely do the shopping thing. Years ago when I was having a really hard time emotionally, I did essentially the same thing. Coffee & Cigarettes and beer. At one point I was down to 87 lbs, and I am 5'9". I had lots of other physical maladies. My doctor told me that he didn't care what I ate, so long as I ate 2,000 calories a day. He was fine with it being cookies and chips, if that was what I wanted. He told me that there had been studies of children done where they were allowed access to all types of foods, junky and healthy. The kids always started out with candy and cake and junk. But eventually, given the choice, they self-regulated to a balanced diet. I did it, and eventually built up enough of an appetite on oreos that eventually I started eating meals. I still don't eat three squares a day. But I eat a small breakfast and dinner. Let her choose what she wants. She'll get around to eating right. ;) [/QUOTE]
