This is really common. You will have to control how much you think she needs. Then have food like fruites on the table, sometimes even in their room helps. She may also hide the fruite around the house, just pick it up and say something like lets leave it here till we want to eat it later. Yes she is scared there wont be some later, and may feel she has to eat everything she sees. It will get better. Don't be suprised if she goes through the trash when you have told her that she is full. We have also used our hands on the tummy to show how it feels when it is full. She has probably never felt full before and doesn't know when she is, she just knows there is more so she must eat it. Many of the children had to eat everything before them So put ONLY what you want her to eat on her plate and nothing on the table except what is on everyone elses plate. Hope these things help. And Congrats!!
