I know what many of you are thinking - shouldn't this question be in a forum for eating disorders? But I don't have any eating disorders, and I'm not sure if it should go with family & relationships, so here I am (because I think I am a little mental with this). I'm SO protective of my food - I claim things as mine, always need to have the last bite, and if somebody takes food off my plate without permission I freak out. Our family tries to eat healthy, so maybe it's because the second I see sweets or junk food it needs to be mine and mine only, I don't know...We just don't eat junk food.
Today my mom gave my little sister permission to finish my favorite ice cream (that I had bought for myself) while I was gone, even though I don't remember saying she could. I realize that if I was at home, I would've let my sister eat it, but for some reason the fact that my mom gave her permission to without me having a say in it drove me insane. Plus, that child has two boxes of cookies and snacks stashed in the pantry! She's spoiled with desserts and candies but she STILL has to eat my ice cream. I nearly exploded and had a fit in front of everyone, and now I'm so embarrassed I can't even face them. My uncle even went to the store and bought me the ice cream, which is especially embarrassing. I'm 17, not 3. I'm responsible, I get straight A's, I work, I have lots of friends and (for the most part) a good relationship with my family, but I secretly and openly get upset over food!
I'm acting like a child, not like a 17 year old :(. What's wrong with me? Does anyone else get possessive with their "special" foods? :confused:
