The Intersection Between Loss of Control Eating and Obesity: The Role of Restriction and Food Reinforcement

In order to achieve this aim, the investigators will follow children over the course of a year, obtaining behavioral and observational measurements, in addition to a two-week restricted access and two week non-restricted access period.
