Don't blame her or yourself. Tell her you love her and find ways to show her you love her. If there are any barriers try to get rid of them. Avoid making mealtimes a battleground. Avoid the temptation to control her. Avoid talking about food. At meal times try to create a relaxed atmosphere. Listen to her feelings.
