WIBTA if I didn't let my daughter have a Sweet 16 birthday party?

YTA-What are you going to do when she is 18. The first words that popped out at me during you post was that she was “now slim”. For you to use those words say to me that that is your only concern and you didn’t want her to be heavy again.

The other phrasing you used was that you can’t let her socialize independently or have access to money because she will binge. Is this your opinion or is this something her therapist has said. You can’t control her forever. As I said earlier she is going to be 18 soon and needs to start dealing with the world. You have almost completely isolated her and seem to control her every action and bite of food. Have you discussed any of this with the therapist? At some point she is going to be out in the world on her own at college or a job.

She deserves this milestone party I think. I just get the impression that you’ve made a lot of these decisions about her socializing etc with discussion of her therapist.
