It is awful! And like you said about your daughter, is true with alot of families. We try and make sure they have healthy choices to make and we do limit their intake for good reason. My Son is 15 and I have caught him sneaking in the kitchen at 12:30am last weekend. He was trying to get make a sandwich. I understand he is growing. Shooting up is more like it. This year alone he grew 4 inches. His 3rd pair of sneakers his feet keep growing. But I monitor his food. Only because He would keep eating and eating. I make him lunch 3 days a week for school. I let him buy the other 2 but he has to make a healthy choice or I will take that away from him. Our school system has the ability for the parents to view their childs lunch spending and their classes. So I know what he eats for lunch. He would be huge and unhealthy if I didn't.
