[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 237439, member: 2459"] We've had to literally lock "junk" food up almost since the day we got difficult child. It wasn't because of a weight issue....he would just gorge himself on anything he could get his hands on. We had a box of wrapped assorted chocolates in the fridge the first Christmas we had him. He got out of bed one night while husband and I were still up to "get a drink". Within 2 minutes of him going back to bed, I heard the rustling of foil wrappers. He had grabbed a handful and was eating them one right after another. Apparently this has ALWAYS been an issue with him and still is to this day. So we keep candy, pop tarts, cereal, snack cakes....anything like that, locked in our room. Anything refrigerated either has to be used almost immediately, we take our chances with it or I just don't buy it. He's been known to eat cookie dough if I don't bake it immediately. (And will only eat his fill, toss the rest and then give me a line about how the dog opened the frig, got it out and knawed on it. Yes, he actually told me this AND had actually let the dog chew on it for a bit to put the correct teeth marks on it before throwing it in the trash. It's a wonder he didn't kill the dog with all the chocolate) I would just make sure that there either isn't anything in the house period or keep it locked up and not just hid. It's not like our kids are going to starve. If they want a snack....apples, oranges, bananas, etc. are great. For the occasional sweet snack...keep it out of the house or just get something that will only last that one day. (small container of ice cream, pie depending on the number of people in the house...stuff like that) I hate that I have to keep things locked up in my own house, especially food but at times, it's needed. And for me...it's not like I lock up ALL the food, just the stuff he seems to think will disappear and he MUST have it NOW. [/QUOTE]
