up to five or six pills at a time.
But once in their home, she would never sleep.
He said that she would fall asleep for a few hours at a time, but then would be awake for weeks at a time.
She would also self-harm, so he ended up putting a camera in her room and an alarm on her door to keep an eye on her.
But it wasn't for, you know, anything other than to keep her safe.
He just wanted to make sure he could see her at all times to make sure that she wasn't hurting herself.
But then when it came to how much and what MG would eat, he gave conflicting statements.
First, he said that she would often refuse to eat.
He would give her pediasure when he could, but even then, she would still refuse any food or drink.
But when investigators mentioned that medical staff found her to be severely malnourished and underweight, Walter changed his tune.
He said that MG would actually eat a lot.
For breakfast, she could eat two whole packages of Pop-Tarts.
For lunch, she would always eat a sandwich, either bologna or peanut butter and jelly, some chips and sliced apple.
Sometimes, she would even eat two sandwiches.
She would normally eat dinner, whatever they prepared.

It was because she was always up all night, burning off all her calories.
On weeks where she would actually sleep, she would gain weight, up to 70 pounds.
On weeks where she was up all night, she could drop down to 40.
