I'm sorry if this has been a recent discussion. I looked, but didn't come across anything that looked similar.
My 10 year old sneak eats. A lot. He goes through spurts where he will eat completely normally during the day, but will wake very early in the morning and eat a days worth of calories over an hour or two. This usually lasts for a couple of weeks then he goes back to normal. He admits he isn't hungry, but is compelled to eat more. We are in the very early stages of getting a service dog that will be trained to wake us if Corbin gets up and starts eating early, but in the meantime, I have no idea what to do.
Anyone else go through this? I know it has to have something to do with anxiety, but nothing that we know of has changed and when asked, he says nothing is wrong and he isn't nervous/anxious about anything.
