i feel like a very common bit of advice given to people living on their own is "cook meals in bulk and freeze em and you'll have food for the week and it is super cheap" and just based on what the girl is doing in that post it doesn't sound like she has an eating disorder

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avoidant/restrictive_food_intake_disorder

like yeah this is real but this is like the girl I dated who would only eat cheese pizza from pizza hut, fruit roll ups, twix, cheese quesadillas (white cheese not yellow cheese), and cheetos

this girl is just being super organized and recognizes her lack of self control so she nips it in the bud by not loading the pantry. there's nothing inherently wrong with that. it's not negatively impacting her life (if anything it saves her money and aids her health) and the only issue really is the boyfriend wants to be able to store more food if/when he moves in.

you've spent two pages saying she avoids "snacks" you can't go back on that now, friendo. she avoids specific foods in the form of any food in her house that doesn't pass her strict food ritual

refusing to keep "snacks" as in food that isn't in your crock pot dump meal is an unhealthy coping mechanism for an eating disorder

really it's not like it's any less weird if she optimizes her macro/micro nutrition in her sunday night giant pot meals to prevent scurvey because it's still just her way of avoiding not putting food in her pantry which is not a healthy coping mechanism for her admitted eating disorder

like there's such a thing as being really strict about your fitness diet but preventing people from storing half a burrito in your fridge because you'll be compelled to eat it is simply not a healthy mindset

Gotta say, you're really stretching the limits of "eating disorder" when the "problem" it causes isn't medical, it's just that her boyfriend has to take his half-eaten burrito home.

A snack is not a "type" of food, it's a time that you eat your food. Eating at three times a day isn't a "food ritual".

Honestly it sounds exactly like she has a binging disorder of some kind, especially the part where she goes ham while out and about and cannot prevent herself from eating if there's excess food in the house. Either this is her way of trying to control it herself or this is something she's come to as part of recovery and she hasn't told her bf about it for whatever reason. My money's on the first though, if only because an ED program would likely be trying to work her towards a healthier relationship with food.

I mean, as long as she's not purging after bingeing it's probably not the worst way to handle it in the short term, but if he moves in with her they're going to need to address it at some point.

if your eating disorder coping mechanism prevents other people in your household from using a room for its intended purpose then that's a negative impact imo

"Strict food ritual" here having the meaning "she cooks in advance?" Everyone avoids specific foods it's called "things you don't like to eat" or "things you know are bad for you so you avoid them."

boner confessor posted:

She over eats so she decides to buy less food so it isn't on hand when she has the munchies from smoking weed. Seems reasonable to me?

Is it really that alien for you guys to not have chips and whatever on hand all the time?

My older sister[24f] hates me[21m] for making my younger sister[18f] pretty and healthy Non-Romantic

quote:

300 points 243 comments submitted 1 year ago by Melotri to r/relationships

Hey everyone I have a situation in my family and I am hoping you guys can give me insight into my sister’s mentality and how to resolve it. A little background, both of my parents are Indian immigrants however for the most part me and my siblings are Westernized.

For the longest time me and my family had a piss poor diet, my mom makes fatty Indian foods and our parents constantly telling us that sports aren’t important led us to not be really healthy. My elder sister is pretty fat, me on the other hand, I was skinny fat, and my younger sister was in the chubby range.

When I went to college I met a cool group of guys and they really got me into eating healthy, and weight training, and in general having a good idea of how to regulate my body weight and compostion. When I came back home I offered my newfound knowledge to my family and some changes were made. We started drinking skim milk instead of whole, diet soda instead of soda, splenda where possible, etc.

And to add to that, my youngest sister started joining me at the gym. My elder sister was in Boston for her Masters, but when she came back she started freaking out about the changes. She started getting angry at me for brainwashing my sister in wanting to be nothing more than a sex object. She says that I am trying to make her nothing more than a stupid bimbo that has to rely on a man. Me and my younger sister completely disagreed with that, we told her that this is retarded, that she wants to be healthy and fit.

Again my older sister doesn’t believe it she says that looking good != healthy. And that the stuff we are doing is killing us slowly. She says the diet soda is poison, and skim milk is milk without nutrients. Right now I feel that my sister is just angry at the world because of her own failures. She has tried diets out before but lacked the impulse control to follow through. And I think she is mad and jealous that me and my sister have been able to succeed.

She constantly brags about her career to us (the one thing she did do well in), that she is better than most women because she actually can think etc. (I don’t agree with this just what she is saying).

I would like to help her as well because she is my family but this hostility needs to stop. Especially to my younger sister. Also right now, my younger sister’s car is broken and my mom can’t drive so she needs someone to take her to the gym. And my older sister refuses to do it because she says the gym is a waste of time working for a body for men.

Do you guys have any idea what I can do?

tl;dr- angry jealous older sister.

Not getting to leave your leftovers in other peoples' fridges is not a "negative impact" on your life.

imagine that instead of food, she wouldn't let her boyfriend leave alcohol in her fridge because she doesn't trust herself around alcohol and she would drink it all. would you say she does, or does not, have an adequate coping mechanism for alcoholism? keep in mind people need food to live and while only 30% of people keep alcohol in their kitchen, 100% of people keep food in their kitchen
