[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 378776, member: 6546"] Jena-- I'm so sorry that your family is dealing with this right now... I wanted to make a simple suggestion that I have seen work for stress/eating issues: Get your daughter involved in a strenuous exercise activity that doesn't SEEM like "exercise". Horseback riding, dance lessons, yoga, gymnastics, skating...you get the idea...an activity that is viewed as more "fun" than good for you. The results of this activity is that the body releases endorphins - which are nature's relaxants - PLUS the physical exertion increases appetitie. So....say you take her to dance lessons (or riding or skating or watever) and then on the way home, when she is feeling tired but happy, relaxed and hungry you introduce a snack. That should help get her eating a bit... [/QUOTE]
