[QUOTE="Christy, post: 153747, member: 225"] Welcome to the board! Sounds like you go to the pediatrition regularly but it might be worthwhile to have his blood sugar levels tested. A spike in BS and then a fall can lead to extreme hunger. A glucose tolerance test would provide this info. A visit to the nutritionist would provide both of you with valuable information. I am wondering if he sneaks food to avoid the critism he is getting from eating it. Even if you are not overly critical, he may be sensitive to it. I was an obese child and was constantly told not to eat this or that. I ended up becoming a serious closet eater and ended up consuming more food that way. It is great that he has a physical outlet like football and maybe you could find other physical outlets for the off season. Try to limit the availabilty of empty calories but don't restrict nutritional foods. Try to present it in a helpful way, like "I can't help but notice that you are hungry all the time. I think we should vist the doctor and a nutritionist to find out what foods might help you to stay full longer. " Maybe you could even present it as developing a diet that will help him to excel in football, whatever works! Good luck Christy [/QUOTE]
