[QUOTE="1905, post: 302791, member: 2668"] Just don't let him in the kitchen to make anything. Don't let him eat, do whatever you can, give him a normal meal at the normal times and say no to anything else. I know it's hard! And know he will still try to sneak and steal money to buy food at school, or wherever. Know this- your dilligence will pay off in the fact that he won't be as heavy as he would with you ignoring the situation. Will he still be heavy? Most likely, but you have him living in your house and you can control a lot, while hopefully teaching him good eating habits. My difficult child was like this, and it was a serious bone of contention- he would eat when we were out , whenever, but when he left home he was 200- now he's about 300. It's sad, I did all I could, you do all you can. That's it. I know how you feel, it's disturbing to us as mothers. I always want to say something about his weight, but now that he's not living here, I never, ever do. I love him and don't want him to hate me. When he was living here, he was very, very violent. I can't even describe what he was like, but I had to get a restraining order. Now he takes care of himself, works, pays his bills, and has a normal life. I'm happy about that, the bigger picture.
