[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 154058, member: 393"] [COLOR=Navy][B]Locking the fridge isn't a good solution; just raisies frustration levels, in my humble opinion. kt has had major weight issues - a combination of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), anxiety & medications. We've worked (& are still working) on teaching kt portion control. Mostly we are teaching kt to be aware of her body & what it's telling her. We don't argue over eating. We ask her to stop & wait 5 minutes, have a glass of water & see if her body is telling her it's hungry. At first, it was always hungry. After a few weeks though, kt began to say realize that her body wasn't hungry. We would redirect her to an activity or task at that point. kt has begun to slim out (& again part of this is natural, therapist feels most of it has been the work that we've been doing with her). We can see kt's anxiety building & along with that anxiety her eating. Because our difficult children react so emotionally, we tend to forget that our little wonders have little to no body awareness or forget to address that issue. [/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
