Have you explained to your mom that these foods tempt you and are not helpful to you in recovery? Maybe you could work with her to pick out healthier sweet options. Try getting 100-calorie packs so that there is a set portion size, and try to buy sweets that are lower in calories so you won't feel as guilty. For example, try to get something like Edy's slow churned vanilla ice cream, which only has 100 calories per 1/2 cup, rather than something like Ben&Jerry's which has far more calories. Also, it may help you to make a meal plan filled with healthy foods, and then give yourself a little space (like a few hundred calories) for a few sweets every day. I hope this has helped, and good luck<br><b>References : </b><br> I also have an eating disorder (I’m anorexic and currently in recovery).

I feel so helpless?</b><br>I have an eating disorder and I am trying hard to get it under control. I want to eat healthy and stop eating junk so often. I think its okay to treat yourself on special occasions and such, but not every day. My problem is I go to the grocery store with my mom and pick out vegetables, fresh fruit, and lean cut low fat meats like chicken and turkey, but she continues to buy chocolate chip cookies, vanilla ice cream, peanut butter, and sometimes little debbie snacks. These are for my brother and stepdad mostly, and my mom. I come to the kitchen and these things constantly tempt me. Its easy access to grab a cookie or spoonful of icecream or peanut butter. I find its harder to resist sugary foods. I love sugar, im probably addicted. I never binge on fruit or vegetables even though i'd like to over sweets anyday because at least i'd not gain weight. I dont even want to binge. I want to eat normal. I know its the sugar. How can i stop reaching for sweets when i crave sweets? Its useless for her to hide them because i either find them or eventually get my own. I feel like i'm doomed. How can I start enjoying blander food with no sugar? Should I deny myself junk food for good because it seems anytime i have just one cookie or anything i cant stop until i am stuffed. Its all or nothing for me. I've tried a few bites but it never is enough...it makes me feel deprived. I hate enjoying junk food. I want to hate it. After all its nothing but sugar, trans fat, sodium filled, high carb, addicting stuff. I don't smoke, do drugs, or drink...thats easy...this is a drug to me...i want to quit. I think it even gives me a high. Like all the serotin the carbs give my body. What other foods have that affect that are healthy? I am depressed and i assume thats why i reach for these foods. I need a lift in mood. Besides exercise, sex, and depression meds, how can my body make seratonin? There is so many unhealthy food these days. At fairs, carnivals, food courts. Also, the tv always has food commercials for $1 items. I dont have tivo so i see them a lot. It annoys me. I dont want to be obese...and i would if i gave in each time someone told me to eat fast food with them. My aunt, cousin, and other family members each fast food on a weekly basis. I tell them how i feel but they dont care. As my aunt is fat, my cousin obese, and the others average. I am not fat, but have potential...Right now i am 5'7 114 lbs. At my lowest i have been 105....i feel fat because i have gained this weight. I want to be 100-105 lbs. I want a model body. I dont understand why people assume that people who eat junk food are all fat. Eating disroders come in all shapes and sizes. I eat a lot of junk food and am lucky to be underweight. But its not easy. I struggle each day. Some people cant help it they are bigger. Metabolism, certain medications, genetics, all play a big part. People can be so cruel these days about eating disorders and people who are fat. Its sad really. What to do? I feel so helpless?
