thanks for all of the advice. especially between kyle and sammie. i got kyle alone, and calmly asked him what his problem is. he tried to ignore the real question, and told me about how much sammie ate yesterday. after a while of trying to get through to him, he told me he was scared about her, and didn't want her to keep gaining weight. he told me he's afraid she'll get a health condition, and makes fun of her to try to get her to see she has to lose weight. by the way, kyle just got a call from abercrombie and fitch this morning, after staying up the entire night to hear the results. he made it! i told him i was proud of him, but would be even more proud of him if he went and told his sister what he told me, in a nice way. first, he tried to stall, by calling his girlfriend, but then i saw him awkwardly enter sammie's room. at first, her began muttering about all the food wrappers, but then he closed the door, and i couldn't hear the rest. soon, sammie came out crying, and told me she wanted to lose weight really badly. she was practically begging. kyle told me that he told her if she reached a certain goal weight, she would be able to apply for abercrombie, and they could do it together. i have a feeling it's going to be hard for her, but doable. well, let's hope all goes well, and kyle has finally stopped picking on his sister.

Um,Ive read your posts about Sammie,and I have to ask you this:have you tested her for any medical condition that is causing her enourmous appetite?It could be Prader Willy syndrome when she never feels full.But if she is picky about what kind of food she eats,than its no medical condition,just bad eating habit.Is she depressed?Maybe thats causing her to overeat?Judging by her behaviour,she needs to see a child pshycologist.She really has alot of issues to deal with beeing just 12.I hope things get better =)
