[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 531882, member: 11791"] If you treat the weight problem as the problem, you lose. The weight is a symptom. Somehow, you have to figure out why... Food is frequently used to self-medicate for depression, anxiety, lack of quality sleep. Ravenous hunger can be medications-induced, but if there are no other triggers around food, frequently the person can still self-regulate. Our difficult child is "always" hungry, but has learned to take a logical approach... and when he's had his share of higher-calorie items, he is allowed extra raw veggies - low in calories, high in fiber, and they take time to eat. Getting to the bottom of the source of the problem, though, is NOT easy. [/QUOTE]
