This is a HUGE issue in our house too and I never knew it was a possible BiPolar (BP) issue, I just figured it was some sort of holdover from difficult child's bio family days. (BM wasn't really big on consistently feeding her kids)
Our issues are usually sweets or junk food as well as cereal. EVERYTHING under those categories gets literally locked up and I'm almost to the point of needing a mini fridge in my bedroom. difficult child has the bad habit of eating most or all of something in one sitting or eating what he can and then PITCHING the rest. :mad: The last time he got into a pack of cookie dough I had, he went as far as eating what he wanted, let the dog knaw on the rest of the pack, threw it away and then tried to tell me that the dog opened the fridge and got it out. (because if I don't bake the dough THE MINUTE I get home from the store, apparently it's fair game) Cool whip? Better use as much as possible when it's first opened or you won't see it again. I long for the days when the only reason I have to put food up is to keep the (evidently very talented) dog away from it. (who, by the way, got a whole chicken down off the counter the other day. husband set it out to thaw, we left for a few minutes and he forgot about it. We came home and the dog had it unwrapped and was knawing on it. :slap: )
