[QUOTE="1905, post: 660932, member: 2668"] Did you ever think about an IOP setting for her? I think that would be a place to start, she'd be surrounded by others with the same problems and they's spend many hours 3-4 times a week getting to the bottom of things. I had an eating disorder and went to a program for that. It was helpful...there was group therapy, art therapy, family therapy, individual therapy...the entire time. I did meet a man while I was there who had weight loss surgery , he was a Superintendent in his school district, he never told anyone he did it, not even his parents. The weight fell off him and he was praised by all. At the time I met him he had suddenly started gaining it all back when they removed the lap band. Everyone was so disappointed in him and he was so depressed. He was in a bad way, it was sad. I had the opposite problem, it never goes away for me. I have really bad body dismorphia. Your daughter may have it in the opposite way that I do, let me tell you about a nanny who worked for my sister. She was so heavy....the same weight as your Difficult Child. She always wore half shirts...her whole stomach was out! Nothing was left to the imagination, you couldn't help but stare at her. Anytime a workman came over to the house this girl told my sister that the workman were hitting on her. Seriously every time. This girl always had a boyfriend, and they were normal size guys, plus she ate anything in the house. She didn't see herself as fat and she was happy. Who am I to judge her, she is happy , it's her life, Right? Your Difficult Child doesn't live in your house. There is nothing you can do. Please don't constantly fault her weight, it makes it worse for her. Sugar free ice cream still has tons of calories, let it go, pick your battles, you're not helping her if you nag about weight.
