[QUOTE="1905, post: 299900, member: 2668"] You are talking about my difficult child as well, except he doesn't waste things or throw them away - he eats non-stop, he always has. He's now 22. When he was younger we could control it more than now, he graduated HS at about 200 lbs, he was on the football team, and it worked for him. BUT, he was always stealing money for food- we'd find the wrappers hidden all over, and he'd steal food all the time. I hate to use the word steal, but he was very sneaky, food was his drug of choice. The attic entrance is in his bedroom, he had stuffed trashbags worth of wrappers (it was sickening) up there, I'm talking about 3lb bags of string cheese and entire hot dog packages. We cleaned it all out, heartbroken, looking what he does to himself. Now, he is not under our watch and eats without hiding or sneaking. He is at least 300lbs. I weigh around 100. My heart breaks for difficult child. My advice to you- do all you can to get between him and food. It's his drug. Just do your best- it's all you can do. Even if he goes through school a little heavy, because of things you do to control it- he won't be FAT, or obese. Don't leave him to make his own choices, it's already an eating disorder.
