She is already funny with food (some Sen) and so limited to what meals she will eat.

She is 15. My parents give her £20 a week for lunch and spends. She is using this to buy her own foods for lunch but she would have enough for hot meals . There is also plenty in the fridge she can take .

The problem is she isn't taking it or if I make sure she does it comes back home again.

So yesterday she refused breakfast, had a Pot Noodle Hmm she bought for lunch if she actually ate it. She came home and was late so went to Cadets straight away. I offered spag Bol and cottage pie for dinner but she chose a pizza but then only ate a small slice.

Obviously I can't force feed her but this has been a common theme for the last three weeks and I am starting to get a bit worried.

Could be a number of things. As you know her so well do you think it could be physical or psychological?
Does she have a history of eating less at times and normal at other times?
Is she losing significant weight?
Does she have anything stressful going on at the moment?
