Yes I've considered taking her out of there, but I really don't like the
large daycare settings.  Just a personal thing for me.  I held off on
pre-school this year cause I wasn't sure she was ready for that.  Next year
we will re-visit it.

The thing about taking her out of where she is that she would do it
somewhere else too.  This is the way she gets her control.  She tries this
stuff with me too so that's how I know its not just Lori.  Lori is just a
lot stronger than me cause she's had two kids and I'm on my first (and
probably only...)  The other thing is if I take her out she will know she
won this battle and then I'll never get control again.

I have seeked help with this so I'm going to see how it goes on that front.
Given what these professionals tell me that is how I'll proceed.  I just
never imagined I would be dealing with this kind of thing with a 3 year old.
I was expecting this kind of problem at 13!!!  Boy I'm not looking forward
to her adolecent years.  

In terms of fussing about how much she eats etc.  We have started backing
off on that.  She can choose if she eats or not.  If she doesn't eat then
she doesn't get treats or get to do fun stuff.  She will also have to eat
her missed meal when she decides she is hungry.  It tough, but that was one
thing they advised I do.  Its soooo hard!!!

Lord give me strenght =-P

Wow! I would be concerned too. Amazing she can make herself throw up.
Have you thought at all of putting her in a different daycare? I'm sure Lori
is great and all but maybe a different situation might work better for her.
We moved our son from a home daycare to the YMCA this summer. It was an
adjustment for sure, it's more like going to school, with all the kids,
teachers etc. But I think it is good with so many things to do, much more
structured day. 
Maybe if your daughter was just one of the group and nobody made a fuss of
how much she ate or didn't eat she would just do like everyone else is? Just
an idea, I only have one son and we have never dealt with anything like
that.
