How to stop her eating too much choc/sweets/rubbish?

[HmmmIwonder]

dd is 13 and i think she eats too much choc etc. she has choc/sweets every day, after school and,if she can find it, at home, and when she's out with her friends. They all seem to do it. I've stopped keeping choc at home (which is a bit rough on those of us who relish a pre-menstrual Mars Bar!) but she just gets it elsewhere. I've tried not to nag about it, cos I thought that might have the opposite effect. She has no weight issues but I know it's not doing her any good, or her teeth. What really annoys me is when she goes out with her friends and buys crap muffins or whatever, then doesnt want her tea when she gets in. Then she's hungry later and has, yes, more crap - usually cereal.
I dont want to go all OTT and ban all treat foods (and that would mean for all of us), but she doesn't seem to able to control herself!!

Eh, I did this at 13, and by 16 I didn't have a sweet tooth anymore. Now I rarely eat chocolate or sweets (when not pregnant) even if they're in the house.

Up to you, obviously, but I wouldn't worry too much, I think it's very typical for teenagers and doesn't necessary mean anything long term.

My DD (13) is a bottomless pit too, these days.
I tell her that her spots/complexion will get worse if she eats too much chocolate/crap, and that seems to make her think a bit.

Where does she get the money to buy the stuff after school? Can you not cut off the funding?

forgot to say, that even if she has eaten snacks after school, she will wolf down her evening meal with gusto...so I am not so worried about lack of nutrients.

What about getting her to make cakes, biscuits etc - not only better but she can see the amounts of fat and sugar going in and talk about daily allowances and postion control - just an idea????

DD, 13 is just the same. It's not helped by the school canteen having enormous paninis and chocolate cake as "healthy" lunch options pretty much every day.

When she is out with her friends, lunch is something like an apple turnover, and a gigantic mug of hot chocolate.

For sleepovers, they just buy huge party bags of sweets, and devour them. Her room is always full of sweets rubbish, and soft drinks bottles.

She is a complete carb fiend, and left to her own devices will eat doorstep sandwiches for lunch, and a man-sized amount of past with her dinner.

I regularly bang on about healthy eating, to no avail. As does her gymnastics coach. She is a little bit overweight, but already thinks of herself as "fat girl".

I keep dithering, as part of me wants her to just be happy with who and what she is, and another part can see unhappiness ahead for her, if she doesn't get to grips with her diet.
