So one of the things that I keep seeing caregivers concerned with is that their loved ones won't eat, or eat very little. We have the opposite problem, here - My grandpa overeats. He obsesses about food, and forgets that he's already eaten and so he'll just go eat again. He starts asking about dinner hours before dinnertime, even if he's just had a snack or late lunch. He gets into the fridge and eats other people's food, expired food, stuff that's not actually food on its own... And he's so damn sneaky about it! I've never seen a 74-year-old man ninja so damn hard as my grandpa scurrying back up the stairs with a box of donuts nobody saw him grab.

Does anyone have any advice? Obviously if someone in the house buys something specifically for themselves, we know now that we have to hide it, and we also know that we have to be super diligent about cleaning expired food out of the fridge. We'd rather not lock cabinets or anything as there are four other people living in the house, and he's already very argumentative about us denying him his 'freedom' (because he's not allowed to just walk out of the dang house in his boxers and slippers) but that may need to be the case... IDK, it's just exhausting on top of everything else. Just wondering if anyone else has any experience with this and has any suggestions.
