Feel like eating too much

I always feel bad when I net over 800, which I know is bad but for some reason I just can't deal with having my calories be so high. Often I'm tired and I feel better when my breakfast is bigger, but I don't want to eat too much in case of last minute dinner plans. I think I'm getting a little obsessed. I started this to get healthy and less of a belly pudge, but now it seems like the only thing I think about. I try to go out with my friend in between meals or not at all so I don't have to guess my calories. I look a lot better so I don't want to stop counting calories. I can't buy all of the "health foods" or low calorie foods because they're expensive and my family eats normal and it's frustrating. I always eat different than my family because they eat high calorie foods like spaghetti or hamburgers. My one weakness is sweet stuff, I eat a bunch of little healthy microwave cookies and stuff until I eat something not sweet and I hate myself for it. I guess I just want to know how you guys do this without feeling constantly disappointed with yourself.

    seconded. 800 is too low to begin with, if you cant eat at that level then you are setting yourself up for some serious problems in your future

    This is something that you need to speak with your doctor about or a therapist or dietitian, preferable one who has experience working with disordered eating. This is something that you want to address sooner rather than later.
