When food was hidden from me, I felt that I was not special enough for my families treats, I apparently didn't deserve them and so I sought them and other bad things out. I wanted to feel special enough for them, to this day I struggle with feeling food is some kind of magical treat for the special people, a class I often feel I do not belong to.
I know my mother did not mean that, but I also know I will never hide food from my children, I tell them they get less junk than I cause I am 6 ft tall, they are short, what is fine for me will make them sick (and I limit what I eat, cause I know they will one day be 6 ft tall!)
Please do not hide food from your children! It can't be worth the psych problems!
