I think I'm going to try letting her have some more choices, without making myself a short order cook
I suspect that she does not like the changes we've made and is sensitive about food anyway.
I think I will try to offer her a few choices, but I am still going to insist that she has to eat her meals. And I'm going to try to keep a close eye on the body image issues. She has some perfectionistic tendencies anyway.
As far as the cookies and junk food, I was simply pointing out that she doesn't out right refuse all food. She's just so doggone picky and stubborn, that she is really limiting her diet.
We are also dealing with terminal illness with her granfather. I'm sure she feels very out of control. There are many factors contributing to this, I just want to handle it the right way.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Julie
