[QUOTE="donna723, post: 262522, member: 1883"] It kind of bothered me because I think they just skimmed the surface with that little girl. This kid literally ATE all the time, and she didn't just have tantrums in the grocery store. At home, if she wasn't eating, she was following her mother around screaming and crying for more food! She was gaining a few pounds each week! At one point, the mother stated that the doctor said there was nothing physically wrong with the girl to make her eat like that, but I wonder if she took her to anyone other than her regular pediatrician? At the rate she's going, this girl will never make it out of her teens alive. I've watched some of those shows about the horribly overweight 1,000 pound people who are bedbound and can't even turn over, much less get up and walk. Isn't there supposed to be some kind of neurological defect in some people where the brain never gets the message that the stomach is full? No matter how much they eat, they still feel hungry so they keep eating and eating. [/QUOTE]
