We had a food box for my daughter for a few years. Stock it with foods that can be eaten at any time. Let them be in control of it, so that they see that they have complete access to foods. NEVER let it get empty. Also, I found that at dinnertime, it is best to not have the food on the table. I fix plates in the kitchen and bring them to the table. She can have all the seconds she wants, but it will be of the fruits and vegetables, not the meat or starch.
Food issues are tough. I have to say, in all honestly, I don't believe these kids will ever fully get over it. My daughter has been with me for 6 years and she still doesn't feel when she is full. I have to regulate it for her to a degree. She still panics when our routine changes because there may not be food. At age 12, she gets excited every evening when dinner is served.
Its very sad.
