[QUOTE="ML, post: 389404"] After reading Desperate's thread I got inspired to post about this. It's nothing new, but I thought those of us dealing with this issue could sort of touch base and share what is working. Manster is eating all the time. I have to physically stand in front of the kitchen at times to say "STOP". I used to worry about contributing to the problem and all the things I thought would be the right way to deal with this problem have flown out the window. I can't be the only one who cares about this. He is at an age and size where he has to buy in to it. I can't control his eating when he is at his dad's or at my mom's... heck I can't even control it in my own home. I will be in Al-anon some day with this "hello my name is ML and I am a food enabler". But for now, I have got to find a way to do deal with this. It's not about eating healthy at mealtime or reading labels. It's about finding other ways to deal with whatever is driving this need to eat. I don't think it's necessarily an issue of hunger. I'm back to the point of thinking the next move is to have him join a weight clinic. I almost wonder if maybe those of us dealing with this could form a subgroup? This is so big in our lives right now and I could use all the support I can get. ML [/QUOTE]
