Food obsessed
My little girl is absolutely food obsessed and it’s getting embarrassing. She is so greedy. She won’t do anything if she knows there’s food about. It was recently her birthday party and she refused to play because there was food there. She just hung around in the kitchen trying to steal food. We make her healthy meals and she has good portions but she is just so greedy and food orientated. I don’t know what to do.

My daughters the same constantly says she’s hungry even after a meal and if you’re eating she wants some. Its always the bad stuff too like chocolate sweets lollipops she wants to. I wouldnt mind but she hardly has them🫠🙈 she just wants snacks but never finishes a meal! X
Woow that’s a blessing. I have a fussy child and sometimes I wish he could eat something without me begging. As @Saya mentioned it’s so draining. I always feel guilty cos I feel he’s not getting all the nutritions he needs 🥲
Try not to focus on it too much or draw too much attention to it, our little boy is the same but we don’t want to shame him or embarrass him around food. You’re doing the right thing by giving good sized portions at meal times.

It’s not embarrassing, she is just a child. Also, it’s a blessing, coming from a mum of two who struggles to put anything in their mouth! Mine are quite the opposite, never hungry and never ask for food. I have to beg them to eat which is so draining to be honest. Sometimes when children feel you are embarrassed or stressed about something, they do it so they get a reaction from you. May be just be okay with it for awhile and see how this change things
