[QUOTE="mcrolling, post: 153549, member: 5245"] Thans for the welcome. E is 5' 4" and 170 pounds at 12 years old. He's a big kid, but not obese, Know what I mean?? His eating happens all day long. Medicated or non-medicated it doesn't matter. He will eat 2 or 3 different breakfasts on the weekend. For example, he will eat 2 bowls of cereal before I get up and then a piece of fruit, I will then make breakfast for the rest of the family and he will eat that as well and then ask for a snack an hour later. I know he is a growing boy, but this is crazy. He went through a stage a year or so ago where he would eat packets of sugar. The whole packet, paper and all. Just shoved it all in his mouth and chewed. I really thought he was diabetic for awhile. There were so many symptoms. He's been tested twice and nothing. He is really a good kid at heart and will do some really great and sweet things for others. I hate making an issue of food, but I can't tell you how many times I have bought something for a recipe only to have him eat it before I got a chance to make it. I don't like yelling at him for eating. That just seems so wrong and isn't solving the problem anyway. There are times when we are shopping and I go to buy something and he will ask me not to because he knows he will eat it all. I respect that totally and I won't tempt him like that. It was mentioned buying snacks appropriate for all. I do try to do that, but he will get to them first and there will be very little to none left for the others. He is not an overly picky eater either. For the most part he will eat whatever I fix for dinner. And he is usually very particular about making sure he eats all his meat since he knows that is the most expensive part of the meal. [/QUOTE]
