[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 59263, member: 1991"] I agree with calling the psychiatrist pronto. This is more than just a kid self-conscious about being told by his friend that he's overweight. I wonder which friend it was - do you know? I'd be having a few questions for the friend to find out what he REALLY said - it may not have been as much as your difficult child thinks it was. But normally, hunger should step in and overcome the basic "I need to lose that little pooch" diet. This is more about exerting control. So, the other thing - don't become too obsessed yourselves about how much he's eating, don't nag or try to exert control over this. He's needing control somewhere, and food has become 'it'. This is beyond parental help alone, I fear. Talk to the psychiatrist fast, for some more specific coping skills with him. Marg [/QUOTE]
