[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 548712, member: 11791"] Never ask a teenager if they have a problem with anxiety. Of COURSE they don't. There's no way on earth they would ever admit that to anybody, and especially not MOM. Her schedule is out of sync with her friends. That alone would explain the school-lunch problem. If they have already eaten, she loses precious face-time with her friends if she goes to eat before joining the group. Would it help if you stuck some "emergency rations" in her back-pack? Not "snuck"... stuck. She needs to know they are there. A couple of granola bars, for example. A box of raisins. Something, anything. Then... if she is regularly eating those and not eating school lunches, the face-time factor may be a significant issue. Once your eating patterns are out of whack... it throws the body chemistry out, and things like hunger, how you feel when you eat etc. can all be affected. Somehow, she needs to get enough calories and enough nutrition (vitamins, minerals, protein, etc.) to bring her body back into sync. [/QUOTE]
