yay MissM I am very happy to read this. Having a child with an eating disorder is very hard work. We have battled anorexia (and still do) and bulimia. She thought if we saw her eating we wouldn't worry but then we noticed she was rushing to the bathroom after every meal. She now has issues with her teeth as she wore the enamel off them with all the throwing up. Watch what she does after meals and if you notice her going to the bathroom you'll need to step in. Weight control is insidious in some girls/boys so still be vigilant. I really hope it was just a stage for you and her xxx
