[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 423000, member: 7948"] My relatively "normal" easy child 3 who is 15 does this periodically so I'm not sure I'd pay it too much attention if she is actually eating. Partly I think it is what all the teen girls are saying to each other that is part of the ritualized negative body image cr&p. Oh, I'm not hungry. Oh, I'm so full. Oh, I can't eat that. Oh, I'm on a diet. All in service to the need to be the thinnest. If she starts losing weight then you can take her to the regular doctor for a check up but I wouldn't say in front of her that you are concerned about her eating or give it more than a Mm-hm when she makes these pronouncements. And I have to ask - why are you buying the sugar stuff or giving her money to use in vending machines? Patricia [/QUOTE]
