Hello Ana! I do try to offer her new foods regularly. Some she will try (mostly fruits and veggies), but others no way - especially if she can't convince herself that they don't have cream/lactose in them. I don't offer her things like a laptop as a reward. But one thing I did do, was she was really into dirt bikes for a while (still is a bit). So when we would have a good visit at the doctor (we were going in weekly to check weight) and it showed she had gained weight that week - no matter how much, I would take her to the dirt bike store and let her look at stuff and sit on bikes as long as she wanted. She loved it, and it was a great reward for her. She is seeing a nutritionist - that is who she'll be working with at the eating disorder (ED) clinic.

I will see if the right time to tell her about finding other people with Emet presents itself. She is pretty self-conscious about it, and I don't think her friends even know. She does have friends, but only a few. The few that she does have, she becomes VERY good friends with and everyone else she doesn't really care about.

I tell her all the time it gets better Each day that she doesn't V is proof that the day before she wasn't ill. It is a work in progress and sometimes very hard to keep her positive - but she works really hard at controlling her anxiety and keeping up with her meals. She is a really good kid and it is hard to watch her have to deal with this.
