food obsession

how do i break my daughter’s food obsession? I intentionally gave her a big bowl of oat meal because i’m tired of her coming to be every hour begging for food. she eats regular meals. and gets a snack in the middle of the day. i try to tell her “look at mommy. do you want to be ugly and worthless and fat like mommy??” and that she needs to stop asking for food otherwise she’ll grow up to be ugly and fat like me..but she really won’t stop. she will cry over food. and i hate that for her

How old is she !? Cause my girls ask for food/ snacks all day too all the time ; almost 5 & 3 years (& is completely normal at these ages since they growing…) also if she’s not overweight or anything it’s completely fine , but will talk to the pediatrician if is something truly concern you . BTW : try to talk nicely to your self so they can grow up loving themselves too no matter what ; you’re not Ugly ! Fat or not you’re beautiful!!

She’s 3. i just don’t want her to lose her chances of having a good life. i always wished i had pretty privilege. i’d trade everything in the world to have good looks and i don’t want her to lose that. i don’t want her to ruin herself.

Okay listen; not a doctor here but I guarantee you that at her age it’s completely normal… instead you should be tankful she’s actually eating now cause she may be extremely picky soon they keep changing … she may no want/ like anything soon trust me . Every kid I have around me act the same with food at that age including mine … it’s completely overwhelming lol I know but also completely normal . What I think is that you’re unconsciously reflecting your traumas on her… please please don’t . She will be as beautiful as mommy when grown no matter what in jesus name ! 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️

It’s normal. Feed her what she wants. Be glad she’s not picky and eating. Stop telling her she’ll be ugly and fat and worthless like her mom. That’s just gonna create problems or an eating disorder. You need to seek therapy cause you should ABSOLUTELY not be talking to a child like that.

Definitely don’t tell her what you’ve been telling her! Be positive towards yourself too. If a kid is hungry, give them healthy food. She shouldn’t be deprived of food.
