[quote=Anonymous]I was similarly sized at that ages. My siblings were all thin. I was addicted to sugar and we had an abundance of sweets and baked goods in the house. I could not control myself around those items. My mother was always on a diet and had a lot of health materials around the house so I did have a sense, albeit disordered, of what healthy habits looked like. I certainly ate my feelings and my boredom. There was no limit on what sweets I could eat in a day. My weight went up and down. Luckily I liked exercise or I would have been bigger. What finally helped was going to college. I didn’t have access to the same sweets and I slowly learned to not eat my feelings. Over about a decade, I took off the weight. I noticed the addiction to sugar. Now, 20 years later I can coexist in a house with sugar without feeling the urge. There’s no magic recipe but I’d keep the sugar in the house to a minimum.[/quote]
