I’ve always had a bingeing problem with sweets. It’s been the hardest thing for me to manage while trying to lose weight. My best friend struggled with eating disorders on the restriction side growing up so I try not to get too into detail about my weight loss or seem like I’m restricting myself too heavily around her because I worry she will perceive it as ED related behavior due to her past. However, as a result of this I often end up getting foods with her that I simply cannot have around and it becomes a problem. For example, yesterday we went for a hike and she wanted to stop at the nearby grocery store for sweet snacks on the way home. I would’ve been content heading straight home but I went with since we had carpooled and ended up getting a pack of cookies, which I then ate all of when I got home, and then devolved into an all-out binge for the rest of the night and set me back past the landmark weight I had reached a few days ago. I now feel like crap and, of course, theres nothing much to be done about it besides getting my head back on straight and plugging on forward, but I still feel frustrated and just wish we had gone straight home or that I would have had the willpower to not grab the cookies despite standing in the aisle for 10 minutes while my friend picked out her snacks. I suppose this is more of a rant/vent than anything else but, has anyone else had similar experiences of somewhat mutually-triggering relationships? How do you set and enforce boundaries around food without making things awkward around people who have complicated food relationships?
