insensitivity to bingeing problem...sooo angry
so my little brother's bday is tomorrow and we are baking him a cake for his bday. my mom bought the cake mix and has it sitting out, and there used to be a can of chocolate icing in the pantry. when i first came home from school, i discovered the icing, binged with it twice, and after about half of it was gone after the second time, i decided that i would throw it away the next day because i was not doing well with any temptations at the time and knew thatd id be better off getting it out of the house. so, along with some candy that was left in the house, i pitched it the following day. this was probably a month ago. tonight, my mother was rummaging around for the icing. i didnt know this at first so i asked what she was looking for and she said the icing. i answered honestly, that i had thrown it away because i had been eating it. do you know what she did? she kinda got MAD! she goes "YOU DID WHAT!? WE NEED IT FOR THE CAKE TOMORROW!" this was such an overreation. i responded calmly "i know i'll go and buy a new one tomorrow, its really no big deal (im in charge of the baking while shes at work anyway, so shouldn't i be the one worried about needing the icing, and i have all day to bake the stupid thing!) she then stormed upstairs! i went up, apologized again and told her i'd get it tomorrow. she then sort of acted like it wasn't that big of a deal, but she was still irritated.
this makes me so so so angry. i tell her all the time about my bingeing problem, and she doesn't take me very seriously because i am at a healthy weight. i try to tell her how bad it really is, and she brushes it off and says things like "stop it you're fine" or "just don't do it". honestly i just tell her about it to let it out because it feels better. just because she never has had this problem doesn't mean she needs to be so rude. she is my mother, and she is so unsupportive when it comes to this and it drives me absolutely insane. i am upset right now, doesn't she realize that its embarrassing enough for me to admit to secretly eating the icing and have to throw it away because i couldn't control myself? but then to treat me that way! when she knows how hard i am trying to get better! i am so angry and upset right now. i will quit bingeing just to shut her up. i guess this was its own form of motivation...whatever it takes!
on the upside, no binges, not even mini for 3 days!
Congratulations on not binging for 3 days! Pitching the icing must have been a difficult task, but it's good that you had the rationality to do that.
Parents do have a hard time understanding. My mom often leaves junk food sitting out in plain sight. The instant I see it, I toss it deep into the cupboard or wrap it up and tuck it in the fridge. It helps most of the time, but if you think you'll go looking for it later, maybe give it to your mom and tell her to hide it? Ask her to humor you. Tell her you might accidentally eat the entire package if she doesn't put it out of sight... that should get her attention.
